This site was designed and built by staff from the Yang-Tan Institute, at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. It was funded by a grant from the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council, to complement a three year training and technical assistance grant project begun in 1998: the Transition Technical Assistance and Support Project (T-TASP). T-TASP has provided training and support to nine demonstration sites throughout New York State that are integrating person-centered planning into transition planning and services for students with developmental disabilities so that they might become active participants in the shaping and realization of their future as adults.
