Transition to Adulthood


What is Transition to Adulthood?
--"Life is full of transitions, and one of the more remarkable ones occurs when we get ready to leave high school and go out in the world as young adults." ~ Center for Parent Information and Resources
--"When the student has a disability, it’s especially helpful to plan ahead for that transition. In fact, IDEA requires it." ~ Center for Parent Information and Resources
--Below are some documents that will help with your child's Transition to Adulthood from Center for Parent Information and Resources.
     --The information in the documents are provided by the National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities.
