For Students

Transition Planning is the process of preparing youth with disabilities to move from school to adult life.

In Massachusetts Public Schools, the transition planning process begins when a student turns 14. As the student gets closer to graduation, their IEP Team will consider how to prepare them for a successful adult life. Considerations include:

  • Job Training
  • Post-Secondary Education
  • Employment
  • Independent Living Skills
