Transition Services
Transition services are individualized activities for students who are working towards post-school outcomes. These activities promote movement in the following areas: post secondary education and vocational training, employment, independent adult living, community connections, and self-advocacy. The activities are developed based on the student's preferences, interests, strengths, and needs.
All students and families will at some point want information on the transition process. Transition planning may include obtaining knowledge on: legal information, future educational supports and opportunities, available community agencies, and employment trends-just to name a few.
