VAC   What is that exactly?

Vocational Adjustment Class. This instructional arrangement is for providing special education instruction to students who are placed on a paid job with regularly scheduled supervision by special education teachers.  A student in part-time job training/employment must work a minimum of 15 hours a week.  A student in a full-time job placement must work at least 30 hours a week.   Students may participate in other occupational preparation programs (which do not generate special ed funds) including vocational education, coordinated vocational academic education (CVAE) classes, and vocational education for the handicapped classes.

VAT  What does that mean then?

The vocational assessment/training program provides students with community-based vocational instruction (CBVI) for the purpose of ongoing assessment and job sampling for resume development.  Students are rotated through a variety of vocational sites with no employer-employee  relationship.

CBVI is an extension of the classroom educational program.  The program is targeted at secondary students with moderate and severe disabilities who may be eligible for supported employment upon graduation.
