Includes resources to help families connect with developmental disabilities services.

Transition services are offered by school districts for students ages (18-22) who are on an IEP for the purpose of transitioning students from high school into the adult world. The program focuses on building job and life skills and encourages employment. 

The Arc partners with 10 local school districts and facilitates 21 monthly Transition Clubs.

Systems are working together to support students with intellectual and developmental disabilities transition from school to adult life in a more seamless manner. Four videos have been created to give students and their families direction during four phases of their life, the three years of transition in the school system (ages 18 to 21) and the year after. Below are four videos followed by the resources outlined in the videos.

employment services may experience, and the associated service strategies and activities the client might expect. As the process for obtaining paid employment is individualized, the phases do not assume a linear process requiring all elements.
