In transition planning, our team considers areas such as postsecondary education or vocational training, employment, independent living, and community participation. Our transition services are be a coordinated set of activities oriented toward producing results. They are:
- Focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the child with a disability to facilitate the child’s movement from school to post-school activities, including postsecondary education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation.
- Based on the individual child’s needs, taking into account the child’s strengths, preferences, and interests; and includes—the development of employment and other post-school adult living objectives; and If appropriate, acquisition of daily living skills and provision of a functional vocational evaluation.
Once transition planning begins, the roles of special education teachers, students, and families shift. School transition services are provided by secondary special educators, transition specialists, guidance counselors. Families and students are also a critical part of the process.
