and helps students learn the appropriate skills to hold down a job if they choose to take that path in the future. The Reading and Math is still practiced just not in your typical teacher in the front of the room lecturing to their students. The program is student centered they read at their job sites and they use basic math and money skills on a daily basis. Sitting in a classroom talking about how to go to the store and make a purchase is far less meaningful for a student with a disability then actually going to the store making the purchase, waiting for change and making sure they have received the correct change. TRACE also helps students have a seamless transition into their adult agencies which does not happen if they stay and their high schools. The opportunities provided by TRACE are ones that cannot be met on a high school campus. Students who participate in TRACE are more likely to get a job and become functional adults within their communities. TRACE is college for students with disabilities its time to stop babying them! Lets give them the opportunity to show us what they are capable of! I will guarantee you will be surprised at what they can do if we continue to give them the opportunities that are provided by TRACE.

Michael Loessel: The typical TRACE student has an identified special need and spends 4 years participating in project based work skill assignments at designated work sites. I was a Job Developer for TRACE in the 2005/06 SY. My job was to assist the teachers in developing direct hire opportunities and visiting businesses with the goal of developing future work sites. I found the teachers in TRACE dedicated and hardworking. When I visited a work site I interacted with the students and talked to the teacher about each student's job ready status.
Without the TRACE Program special needs students would have no targeted support program beyond the secondary school level. Students participating in TRACE do not have a high school diploma but are given an opportunity to work at designated work sites where they learn job ready skills. The goal is to place them in a direct hire scenario. I had the pleasure of seeing many success stories as students worked hard learning skills that led to a direct hire placement.
