Transition to Adulthood for Students with Special Needs

The skills our children with disabilities learn in school now are critical for a good life as they become part of the “adult world”. How can you make sure your child gets the services they need to make this transition? What services and supports can you expect for your child when they graduate or age out of the school system? Don't wait until it is too late to begin planning for your child's transition.
