Planning the move from school to adult life can feel like reading a map with half the roads missing. This site puts the pieces in one place: what happens at each age, the state transition guide, training for school teams, and who to call in your region.
Who it is for
- Students who receive special education services and want a say in their own future.
- Parents and guardians getting ready for ARD meetings, graduation and the transfer of rights at 18.
- Teachers, counselors and Transition and Employment Designees who write and carry out transition plans.
Where the material comes from
Most guides, fact sheets and courses linked here were produced by the Student-Centered Transitions Network (SCTN), a statewide network led by the Garrett Center on Transition and Disability Studies at Sam Houston State University in collaboration with the Texas Education Agency. Documents stay with their original publishers and open from their own servers.
An independent site
Texas Transition is not run by the Texas Education Agency, an Education Service Center or any school district. For decisions about a specific student, always talk with the campus ARD team. See the contact page for who to ask.
