High School Transition

What Are Transition Services From High School?

​

High school transition services, also known as transition to adulthood, are transition services for children with disabilities who may be in special education or have disabilities. If a student has a disability, it can be extremely helpful to plan ahead for their transition once they graduate high school. It is also required by the Individuals With Disabilities Act.
