| Provenance/History |
APH added a new section to its catalog, Transition, in 1999. The Transition Tote system was designed to assist high school age students with vision loss "as they explore and prepare for the world of work." Principles included organizational skills, social and self advocacy skills, and personal responsibility. Sold in three versions, each included a binder (braille, large print, or cassette), tote case, clipboard, APH Insights Arts Calendar, and a computer 3.5" floppy disk holding forms and checklists from the student manual. "Navigating the Rapids of Life" was a video program also introduced in 1999 which complented the Transition Tote System. It addressed incidental learning, organizational skills, compensatory skills, social skills, and opportunities to work. |
