Marion Area Transition Team (MATT)

MATT MISSION STATEMENT

MATT (Marion Area Transition Team) is a council committed to coordinating services to facilitate smooth transition for individuals with disabilities  into adult lives that are productive in the educational, recreational, residential, social, and vocational realms.

As parents we have hopes of a good life for all of our children with or without special needs.  However, it is apparent that the challenges faced by children with special needs create more obstacles and make a difficult transition from childhood to adulthood even tougher.  These obstacles should in no way deter us from those hopes and aspirations nor should it leave our children with special needs without dreams and the ability to fulfill those dreams.

Parents are encouraged to become a part of the Marion Area Transition Team (MATT) to work closely with District staff and agencies to provide the supports and services necessary for their children to fulfill their dreams of becoming independent and productive adults in their community and living as normal a life as possible.

MATT meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of every month -- August thru May.  For further information, or to become a member of MATT, contact Marion County Schools Exceptional Student Education Transition and Agency Support Personnel:
