State law requires that students begin receiving Transition Services at age 14 and that those services are included in the student’s Individual Educational Plan (IEP). Transition is about creating a path to adult life that includes meaningful community connections through work, life, and social opportunities. We are here to help guide you through this time of change and growth, as your student prepares to enter the adult world.
