Amity Transition Academy (ATA), a community and vocationally based program, was founded
by Patricia Fitzgerald with the mission to help prepare high school students with intellectual
disabilities to transition into future employment. The program collaborates with Albertus Magnus
College, providing classroom space and creating unique work opportunities for the students on
campus. ATA quickly caught the attention of the Master of Arts in Art Therapy & Counseling
(MAATC) program director Dr. Lisa Furman. The mission of the ATA inspired Dr. Furman to
foster a connection with Fitzgerald and introduce art therapy into programming by offering an
internship placement at the Amity Transition Academy.
