Transition from School to Post School for Students with Disabilities

The resources and materials within this section are designed to assist schools, students and families with the transition from school to post-school.  A successful transition process is based on the student’s strengths, preferences and interests, and requires collaboration between the school district, student, family and community agencies.  Transition planning and services are designed to prepare a student with a disability to achieve his or her post-secondary goals related to living, learning and earning within the community.
