From VCU’s Center on Transition Innovations and the Virginia Family Engagement Network (FEN):

This easy-to-use guide empowers families to navigate post-secondary transition planning for children with disabilities, starting in early childhood and continuing into adulthood. It covers four key areas of transition planning: self-determination, postsecondary education and training, employment, and independent living and community participation. Regardless of where your child begins their special education journey, these considerations provide a supportive framework for addressing your child’s unique needs. Plan and help your child thrive in every stage of life!
