Transition

Transition (18-21)

Transition (18-21) programming provides post-secondary and workplace readiness and training for students.  The transition program is designed to prepare students with disabilities to gain access to the supports and services necessary to become as independent as possible. 

Students receiving special education services who have an IEP are able to access 18-21 services through their school districts. They may have met the minimum requirements for graduation in their districts, but have ongoing transition needs identified in their IEPs, by the IEP team, and based on assessment data. 

  • Division of Vocational Rehabilitation
    • Vocational Rehabilitation helps individuals with disabilities prepare for, secure, retain, advance in or regain employment by providing a range of services based on their individual employment needs and goals.
