Burger Transition Center serves the post-secondary students of the Burger Program, Garden City Public Schools' center-based school for students from across Western Wayne County with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. The program runs in two buildings: Burger Baylor School serves grades 1 to 12, and our Maplewood Street building serves students after high school as they work toward independence, self-fulfillment and a productive role in their community. Our students are the BTC Cougars. Practical work is part of the program. Students in our Retail Prep class assess, organize and display donations in the BTC Pantry, a food, clothing and sundries pantry for community members in need, which builds retail skills while they help their neighbors. Admission comes through a referral from the student's resident district special education department, after less restrictive options in the district or other regional ASD classrooms have been reviewed. The intake packet includes student profiles, a parent questionnaire and the district's IEP assessment, and our social workers help families with questions about the process.
