College Campus Transition Program

Congratulations CCTP 2023 Graduates! Your future is BRIGHT!

A vision turns into reality as the DECHS Transition Programs launched its first initiative “Decision Day” for SWD. It’s important to celebrate all students for their hard work, determination, and  perseverance to complete their K-12 requirements. Students throughout MSCS district, like their same-aged-peers, made the decision to continue their education in one of the five district transition programs that will provide them an opportunity to learn workskills and prepare for adult independence. EVERY STUDENT DECISION MATTERS! Congratulations 2023 Graduates! Memphis-Shelby County Schools - MSCS University of Memphis Institute on Disability Programs and Research

We are excited to help build a stronger platform to share with the world about our program. We are working hard for ourselves, our families and community. We are citizens. We can work. We are not our disabilities! We are here to show you how great we are. We are 901!

-Cohort 12

What a great day to be a Memphis Tiger! We Are 901!

Welcome Cohort 12 Students and Families! We are Tiger Ready!

Congratulations to The College Campus Transition Program 2022 Graduate Madison Lewis for receiving a $20,000 scholarship to attend college. She has the most inspiring story of what parental support, great teachers, therapists, access to programs and educational supports, advocacy, hard work and determination will lead. We are so proud of this young lady! She’s going places and We are honored that her enrollment into CCTP was one of many that played apart of her journey to success.

Two high school graduates start college with $20,000 scholarship Gutilla is a “Math wizard”, and Lewis participated in different school clubs like cheerleading, while still managing to be an honor roll student.

CCTP interns were proud to be apart of a historical moment on the U of M campus. The unveiling of The Larry Finch statue. /UMID # CampusLIFE

It’s Spooktacular Fun when the two programs join as ONE! +TigerLIFE

‪SelfAdvocacy is learning how to speak for yourself, make decisions, learn how to get information so that you can understand and access things that are of interest to you. Well, that’s exactly what these two young men did- advocated for themselves by attending their MATA-Plus eligibility meeting. Thumbs up to Ms. Tia w MATA Plus.
She did a remarkable job in explaining and making required information relatable to her two clients. Yes, that’s a BIG Deal!

Students received their U of M student IDs! Yes, It’s a big DEAL! What was the lesson objective? Following directions and completing campus required applications to receive student ID. Communication. Accessing campus to the Bursar office.

CCTP students are on the move! Students worked the West TN Special Education Conference at Hilton Memphis. Every internship “big” or “small” is a teachable moment- working toward the goal of successful employment. / Communication Skills

Can you believe CCTP is in its 9th Year? Celebrating our 9th year with a whole new cohort. Students are now at the end of their 21st week of the program, preparing to get, keep and excel at a new job.
