The spirit of transition is entirely
about “beginning with the end in mind”.
Decisions about a student’s educational program
in school should be focused on the student’s
expectations for life beyond high school.
According
to Sec. 300.29 of Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act, transition services means a coordinated set of
activities for a student with a disability that is
designed within an outcome-oriented process, that promotes
movement from school to post-school activities, including
post secondary education, vocational training, integrated
employment (including supported employment), continuing
and adult education, adult services, independent living,
or community participation.
In order to assist all students to fulfill their dreams for life beyond high school (as well as to assist school districts and charter schools to meet federal, state, and local requirements), ESC Region 12 provides staff development, special projects and technical assistance in the area of transition. Vocational adjustment coordinators and transition specialists also meet bi-monthly at ESC Region 12 to keep abreast of employment trends, job development training, assessment tools, and collaborate with agencies and post-secondary organizations. |
