In the world of Special Education the term Transition refers to a coordinated set of individualized activities and/or supports that prepare our young adults with disabilities to successfully enter the world after high school. In South Carolina, Transition becomes the focus of a student's IEP at the age of 13. Transition planning centers around a student's interests and preferences. The focus is on academics, vocational training, independent living skills, self-advocacy, and community access. Connections to adult agencies are a vital part of the process.
