What is Secondary Transition?

Transition planning is a multistep process that guides a youth from high school into adult living after they leave school.

Planning begins at age 14, or younger if determined appropriately by the IEP team, and continues through high school as academic instruction and community experiences help clarify and support students’ goals.

EFFECTIVE TRANSITION PRACTICES

Strong secondary transition plans start with effective transition practices within a school. By using the principles of Transition Discoveries, aligning efforts with the PA Career and Work Standards, and effectively collaborating with other transition stakeholders, educators are able to create ways for the transition team to develop and provide experiences to ensure that all young people with disabilities, families, and professionals are empowered to create a successful transition plan.
