Community Transition Program is a program offered within Blind and Vision Rehabilitation Services of Pittsburgh' Oakland facility. It provides specialized services to persons that have severe mental challenges and visual impairments. This program was established in 1993 to initially serve persons that were being transitioned from state centers for individuals with mental retardation to the community. The program is funded and supported by the Allegheny County MH/MR/D&A/H&H Program.

Services provided in this program include social skills development, cognitive orientation, community skills development, socialization, behavioral management, and some vocational training. Persons may initially be provided with one-to-one support to assist with the transition to program services. The philosophy of the program is based on the principle of personal choice. Each person served has the opportunity to develop their own plan of services. 

During a typical week a person may participate in such activities as: arts and crafts, shopping, cooking, community trips, music, vocational activities, cognitive development, "theme day" activities, ADL training and individualized activities.

The program provides ongoing supports as needed and reviews each participants personal plan every six months. If determined that other community resources are more beneficial, participants are encouraged to choose their best option.
