Transition to Adulthood Planning Toolkit
This toolkit helps families plan for their child to succeed in school, at work and in life.
What is a transition plan?
Transition planning is a process. The child, parent and people who provide supports help the young person create a vision for the future. The young person’s strengths, interests and talents are identified. Using this information, a step by step plan is created. The plan outlines the steps, supports and goals needed to make a smooth transition from school to adult life. This toolkit guides you through the steps to planning a successful transition. If you are interested see the link to the Toolkit below.
