Florida High School/High Tech Team Builders & Icebreakers: Techniques for Success, 2008/2009 Edition

This Florida HS/HT Team Builders & Icebreakers manual was compiled by The Able Trust, also known as the Florida Governor's Alliance for the Employment of Citizens with Disabilities. The Able Trust is a 501c3 public-private partnership foundation established by the Florida Legislature in 1990. Its mission is to be the leader in providing Floridians with disabilities fair employment opportunities through fundraising, grant programs, public awareness, and education. Since its establishment The Able Trust has awarded over $22 million in grants to individuals and nonprofit agencies for employment-related purposes. Its programs enable over 2,000 Floridians with disabilities to enter the workforce each year.

The Florida High School/High Tech Program thanks all of the partners who have worked so diligently and passionately over the past twelve years to provide high quality transition services to Florida youth with disabilities. The National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability/Youth has identified five Guideposts for Success based on what research tells us that all youth need to transition to adulthood successfully. Each activity in the Team Builders & Icebreakers manual is based on one or more of the five Guideposts for Success and is intended to provide ideas for supplemental workshop activities and not to replace the use of activities in the National HS/HT Program Manual nor the Florida HS/HT Activity Guide (formerly the Florida HS/HT Sample Curriculum).

Florida HS/HT is part of the national HS/HT initiative and is funded in Florida by The Able Trust, a nonprofit foundation providing employment support for Floridians with disabilities, and the Florida Department of Education's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. The national HS/HT Initiative is supported by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP).
