DESCRIPTION

The online course, “From School to Success: Strategies for Transitioning Students with Disabilities Online eBook (Self-Study)”, will discuss transitioning special education students. Transition planning is a critical component in the education of students with disabilities, as it lays the groundwork for their successful movement from school to post-school activities, including further education, employment, and independent living. Special education staff play a vital role in this process by understanding the unique needs of each student and developing comprehensive transition plans that address these needs. Effective transition planning should begin early, ideally by age 14, to ensure that students have ample time to explore their interests and develop the necessary skills for adult life. This proactive approach helps to create a roadmap that guides students through their transitions, equipping them with the tools they need to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.
