Every person experiences transition throughout his or her life. The transition to a different classroom, new school building or from school to community is a process that all students go through. The transition from school to community represents a major change in the student’s life. Transition planning is a process used to assist students in their move from school to adult life. This planning is an important time for students, families, agencies and schools to work together to help make decisions about the student’s future.
