Postsecondary transition planning for students with disabilities is a process beginning at age 14 (or earlier if appropriate) designed to help students reach their vision for a meaningful and productive future as they move from high school into adulthood, including postsecondary education, employment, and independent living. The transition period represents not only a time of change for students but also a significant adjustment for families. Even those who have participated in their youth’s IEP meetings for many years might find the new processes involved in transitioning from high school planning to adult life to be confusing or overwhelming. Families must have the information to understand how the services and supports their youth has received under IDEA differ from those that may be available to them as an adult.
