What are transition services?
Transition services are a coordinated set of activities to help youth with disabilities move from school toward their best life in adulthood. Services are outcome-oriented and based on a youth's strengths, preferences, interests and needs.
Transition services may include instruction, community experiences, employment and other postschool adult-living objectives — all based on a youth's individual needs.
Minnesota’s transition framework defines the elements of high-quality transition planning. The framework sets shared learning expectations for best life, independent living, employment, and postsecondary education and training.
