Advancement and Transition Services (ATS) was established in 2014 to address an increase in the prevalence of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) across the country. ATS is nested within the University of Cincinnati’s College of Education, Criminal Justice, Human Services, and Information Technology (CECH), with a mission to create meaningful, life-changing, experiences for people with IDD. ATS addresses the specialized needs of individuals, as they transition from high school through adulthood to gain more independent and fulfilled lives in inclusive settings. A gift from the Pfau Foundation will support the Promoting Positive Life Outcomes for Adolescents through CEES program.
