Texas Transition Home

State resources that are shareable to families, students and educators to help navigate the Texas Transition process.

Gather your district teams and join us for the online event of the year! For the inaugural Texas
Collaboration Institute, the Student-Center Transitions Network (SCTN) has teamed up with the
National Technical Assistance Center on Transition: The Collaborative (NTACT: C). It is sure not
to disappoint! With national speakers, facilitated training, and a focus on district team building
and collaboration. Local Education Agency (LEA) teams comprised of Special Education (SPED),
Career & Technical Education (CTE), and Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) will begin the discussion on
partnerships that change results and lives of students with disabilities.

18 + services are designed to be specialized, age-appropriate instructional services for adult students 18 to 21 served by special education. Everything about the 18+ special education services should be age-appropriate, starting with transition assessments, instructional strategies, accommodations, and instructional environments. The resources below will assist LEAs in gaining a better understanding for defining, developing, and improving their 18+ programs. Families will be able to utilize resources on this page to assist their adult student in transitioning to life after leaving public education.

The purpose of this training is to give educators the information and tools needed to write appropriate measurable postsecondary goals as part of a student’s transition plan. Learning to write appropriate measurable postsecondary goals is the foundation for building quality transition services for students with disabilities.

The Texas Transition and Employment Guide can help students with disabilities to plan for adult life.
You can begin planning while you are in school. Use this guide to find out what to expect and where to find
help. You will see the term “family” used to describe the person or people in your life who support you.
Family might be your mom, your dad, or another family member. Family can also mean a foster parent or
someone else who makes legal decisions for you.
