STEP Program is a partnership between the high school vocational/transition program, employers, and the Illinois Department of Human Services. The following process needs to occur in order to be in the STEP Program:
1. STEP referral by an IEP | 504 Team member
2. Consent for Release of Information
3. Consent for STEP services
4. IEP / Re-Eval / 504 materials will be reviewed by DRS Transition Specialist Sara Tatham to determine eligibility (after ROI consent is received - materials will be released by WWS to DRS)
5. Intake meeting to open a case with DRS : DRS Transition Specialist, parent, and student to discuss plan (this can be done virtually)
