As one of Connecticut’s Approved Private Special Education Programs (APSEP), the Bloom BCS Transition Program offers individualized, postsecondary-focused curriculum, community engagement, and vocational skill development for IDEA-eligible students ages 14–22. We support students with complex needs—whether academic, behavioral, social, or otherwise—through tailored services that are designed to help them thrive in their learning environments.

Our team utilizes the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to provide individualized treatment to each student. Curriculum is created by a Special Education Teacher, implemented by the Service Providers (Life Skills Coaches) and overseen by the Education Director. Consultation is provided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and related services are provided as deemed appropriate per each individual’s IEP.

Students are encouraged to work both independently and collaboratively as they are introduced to career skills, life skills and postsecondary opportunities within the community. 1:1 instruction is provided as needed and as outlined an individual’s IEP. Job placements and career experiences are based on career assessments, including the CAPS/COPES/COPS and the AFLS. 

The Bloom BCS Transition Program operates on the public school calendar found below, with an average school week of 32.5 hours/week. An individual is determined eligible as referred by their school district, with postsecondary, vocational and transition goals to be taught and practiced at the Bloom BCS Transition Program’s site.

Referral and enrollment in The Bloom BCS Transition Program is determined by the Planning and Placement Team (PPT). Students must be:

• referred by their home district
• between the ages of 14-22
• have an active IEP with programming for postsecondary employment, vocational and life skills; which includes Transition Planning goals and objectives connecting them to employment agencies/state programs as eligible

Students of all genders, race and socioeconomic status are accepted for tuition at Bloom BCS. Bloom BCS does not discriminate based on socioeconomic factors, race, disability, or other standards.
