Get the Picture?!: Guiding and Engaging Exceptional Teens to Increase College and Career Readiness
About the Intervention
Get the Picture?! is an educational program designed to increase the college and career readiness of exceptional students with disabilities. The program involves one-on-one guidance and support from a career strategist, who meets with students at least weekly to monitor their Individual Learning Plan (ILP). The ILP focuses on college and/or career readiness with realistic, big-picture goals and action steps for life after high school. The program also includes a school-based Support Team that coordinates and monitors the one-on-one work and Student-to-Strategist match. Additionally, the program provides opportunities for family engagement, including at least two family events per year and regular family contact.
