Program Highlights
Project FOCUS utilizes the most current and well-researched best practices to support our students in their inclusive post-secondary environment, resulting in a uniquely successful transition experience at the University of Arizona.
Every student begins their college journey with a Person-Centered Plan (PCP) gathering. This is a celebration of their accomplishments and an opportunity for those who know them best to help guide our team in developing a strong roadmap for a successful two years in our program. During this event, our students and their invited guests contribute information to provide a fuller picture of who they are now and their future goals.

Digging deeper into supports
One of our best practices is Student-Led IEPs in which every student leads their annual meeting by creating and practicing their multi-media presentation given to family, friends, teachers and others attendees.
