Transition from school to adult life centers on a systematic planning process, which includes students, their families, their teachers, and a variety of other professionals and, occasionally, friends. This time of transition also can be described as a time of intense change in the lives of young people and their families. The stakes for helping young people make a successful transition are high because the impact of such efforts during this time period will affect the remainder of their adult lives. This session will provide a variety of viewpoints from professionals and a student on the importance of planning and input to create successful transitions for individuals with disabilities.
