Southern Community Based Transition Site
450 East Roosevelt Road, Lombard, IL 60148
Direct Phone: 630-376-4707
Transition services are intended to prepare students to move from the world of school to the world of adulthood. In planning what types of transition services and activities a student needs, the IEP Team considers areas such as post-secondary education or training, employment, and adult living. More information is available at isbe.net
Community-based Transition services and supports offered at the Southern Transition Site are designed to assist students with disabilities attain their respective adult life plans. These supports are located in the community to optimize access to jobs, various transportation options, social opportunities, recreational facilities and events, as well as other opportunities that can help each student grow into their adult life more successfully. As students begin to reach adult outcomes the goal is that services at Transition begin to fade to prepare families for post-secondary plans.

Safeguard Against Sexual Abuse in Schools – Faith’s Law
Faith’s Law expands the criminal definition of grooming beyond electronic communications to include written communications and acts committed in person or by conduct through a third party. The law also makes it clear that mandated reporters must report suspected grooming to DCFS under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act.
In addition to expanding the criminal definition of grooming, Faith’s Law includes several new requirements for schools and educators intended to prevent sexual abuse and misconduct in schools. Faith’s Law adds a completely new section to the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/22-85.5) pertaining to sexual misconduct in schools. This section requires all school districts, charter schools, and nonpublic schools to develop an employee code of professional conduct policy that must be made available on the school’s website and included in any staff, student, or parent handbook.
Need to report a concern or an incident? Call your child’s school, state the reason for your call, and speak to the principal or a social worker.
