Helping your students' transition planning process
Students with disabilities and their families often wonder about life after graduation and what supports will be available when school services end. The transition planning process is designed to answer these questions. In Texas, transition must be addressed in the IEP by a student’s 14th birthday (TEC §29.0111).
Our transition planning specialists work with your schools to ensure that all of your students with disabilities have access to the best possible transition planning that also meets legal requirements. We offer support, professional development, resources, products, and updates related to the transition planning process.
