Transition

Transition Services Overview

Transition services help students with special education needs prepare for life after high school. These services begin when a student turns 14 years old (or older) and are designed to support their goals for adulthood.

Transition services focus on three main areas:

1. Post-Secondary Education and Training

Students explore and build the skills, education, or training needed to achieve their individual career goals.

2. Employment

Students identify career interests and goals, then develop the skills necessary for success in their chosen field.

3. Independent Living

Students gain important life skills that help them live independently and actively participate in their community.
