ADHC Post School Program

The Support Teachers Transition in the Sydney Region, who support the Sutherland and St. George local areas, assist students
with disabilities, in their final years of school, with their “School to Work Planning”. A major part of this program is for the students to
prepare for and attend this Transition Careers EXPO. The EXPO provides opportunities for these students to access career and
vocational pathways, and to access Government, leisure, recreational and respite services. This EXPO also targets adults in the
community who have disabilities, by providing opportunities to access a broader range of services.
The preparation for and the organisation of the EXPO are integral roles of the Support Teachers Transition, as part of the Working
Committee.
We would like to acknowledge the following, for their support of this EXPO:

UNIVERSITIES
Every University has a support person available to discuss individual needs of students and assist with planning and goal setting.Two websites are available with up-to-date
information and your NDCO (bottom of page) can also assist.
For contact details and names of departments only, www.adcet.edu.au/Uni_Disability_Advisers.chpx
Current information including names can be found at http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/disability-contacts.pdf
It is recommended that students make contact with this person early, to facilitate a smooth transition to the new learning environment. Everybody has a disability at some time (allergies, diseases, flu) which may impact
temporarily or permanently. Students need to address the effect of their disability in order to maximise learning. Benefits may be available such as extra points, your NDCO can also assist with these links.
