The Delta Project
Disability Network (DNMM) is proud to announce "The Delta Project" is now up and running in Midland County. This new program aids students with disabilities transition from high school to college.
The Delta Project is a joint effort of the Midland County Schools, Delta College and Disability Network. "We are excited about this collaboration," said Amber Vondra, Project Facilitator at DNMM. "The Delta Project will increase the probability of students with disabilities receiving a degree from Delta and then having success in their career."
Delta Project students participate from their sophomore year through their senior year of high school, as well as being supported during their time at college, if needed. During high school, students will participate in many different workshops designed to help students with self-advocacy, communication, writing and studying skills, career assessments, team building, and test-taking strategies.
Students will also have opportunities to visit Delta College in order to familiarize themselves with the different departments and opportunities Delta College provides. While the collaboration is centered on Delta College, the skills learned will benefit the student, regardless of what college the student chooses to attend.
"Disability Network promotes the independent-living philosophy and person-centered planning," said project coordinator Lowell Gisel. " The Delta Project also focuses on individual needs and desires. Each student will have their own transition plan specific to Delta College. The plan is based on the student's needs and it will drive the student's high school curriculum and other transition activities to ensure success."
