Turning Point is a post-secondary transition program for students ages 18 to 22 who have completed their Senior year and want to continue on with school age programming to continue to earn necessary graduation requirements and develop vocational, daily living, and recreational leisure skills. 

At Turning Point we assist students in achieving their post-secondary goals in the areas of employment, education and independent living.  Through backwards planning all students and their teams create a roadmap to their desired future.  Our program supports each student’s plan through community partnerships with local employers and agencies.  Individual career goals are developed and met through job tours, weekly job placements,  job shadowing, and internships which are aligned to the student’s individualized preferences, interests, needs and strengths.

At Auglaize County Educational Service Center, we have carefully curated a comprehensive selection of informative articles, helpful websites, insightful checklists, and valuable resources to support you in effectively navigating the complex landscape of Transition to Post-Secondary Options for students with special needs. Whether you're a parent, educator, or community member, our aim is to provide you with the tools and guidance necessary to empower these students for success. Please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions, feedback, or requests for additional information on transition-related topics that are specifically relevant to your needs. Your dedication and efforts in advocating for students with special needs are truly appreciated, and we are here to assist you every step of the way. Thank you for choosing Auglaize County Educational Service Center as your partner in supporting exceptional students on their journey towards post-secondary success.
