Transition Services
Overview
Transition Services means a coordinated set of activities for a young adult with a disability that is designed within a results-orientated process that is focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the young adult with a disability to facilitate movement from school to post-school school activities, including post-secondary education, vocational education, integrated employment, continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living or community participation.
Transition Services are based on the individual’s needs, taking into account the child’s strengths, preferences, and interests.
