Do you want to begin or enhance a program to help young people successfully transition to college and careers? Do you want to reduce preparation time by starting with materials and forms that have been created by a successful program? This book was written for you! It can help you create summer study, work-based learning, and e-mentoring programs for youth. Key considerations are highlighted to help you get started in developing programs that include computer technology access, peer and mentor support, college preparation activities, and work-based learning.

CoughDrop is a unique communication software that can be used across multiple devices. Evaluation accounts have been created to support AAC teams who are working to determine if CoughDrop is the right fit for an AAC communicator. These accounts function much like a communicator account and can even request access to premium voices if needed. Because the account can be "leant" out to one communicator at a time on a trial basis, the account is programmed to "reset" back to particular default once the trial period is over for that communicator. This means that speech boards and buttons created specifically for one communicator are automatically cleared before the account is assigned to help evaluate a new communicator (although those boards can be copied to the new communicator account if that user moves forward with CoughDrop). Each loanee will be given a unique password upon checking out the app. The app can be used on the loanees' device, or the loanee can check out any device within the loan program that can connect to WiFi. It is imperative that the device is able to connect to WiFi as CoughDrop is a cloud based communication system. -
