TRANSITION SERVICES

Transition services refer to a coordinated set of activities for a student, which promotes movement from school to postschool activities. Some examples of appropriate postschool outcomes may include: post-secondary education, technical training, integrated employment, supported employment, adult services or independent living and/or community participation.

Transition services are offered to support students by introducing skills across environments. Students (ages 14 to 21) are taught skills in the classroom and in the environments in which these skills are naturally applied. Instruction is provided in all domains and environments, such as domestic, community, and vocational areas.

Transition services assist students and their families in developing contacts with adult service providers, such as the Division of Developmental Disabilities and Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. This assures that students will receive appropriate community support and services upon graduation.
