BCTN
Bethel Community Transition Network
Building a community for students to have infinite possibilities for their future.
Goal of BCTN
BCTN prepares and assists young adults with individual education needs to enter the adult world. BCTN is for 18 to 21 year old individuals on an IEP who are eligible for special services. Students continue development in the areas of Community Work and Community Living with a strong emphasis on social and interpersonal skills. The goal is for each person to learn how to be resilient in the transition from school services to meeting the challenges of everyday living.
