The Farmington Valley Transition Academy (FVTA) is a collaborative program through the Simsbury and Farmington Public Schools. FVTA serves students with developmental disabilities between the ages of 18-22 and is located at Riverdale Farms in Avon. In addition to serving the transition needs of students from Simsbury and Farmington, FVTA currently enrolls students from more than 10 districts.

While at FVTA, students develop their skills in the areas of functional academics, vocational skills and adult living skills. Some students take college level courses, both at community colleges and at the University of Hartford.
