Texas Transition and Employment Guide
The Texas Transition & Employment Guide to a Successful Life After High School for Students with Disabilities
Welcome to your future!
Moving from school into adult life requires thoughtful planning.
Where will you work? What will you want to continue learning after high school? Where will you live? Will you want support to meet your goals?
What is transition planning?
Schools help all students prepare for their future. If you have a disability and receive special education services, there is a process called transition planning included in your Individualized Education Program (IEP) by the time you reach age 14. This process can help you decide what you want for your future and figure out the steps you can take to meet your goals. Transition planning can help the important people in your life, such as your family and teachers, understand more about what you want for your life when you become an adult. You will have a chance to participate in this process every year until you graduate.
Why is transition planning important? What can you do to keep moving toward your goals while you are in public school? Where can you go for support?
With the assistance of TCISD's Special-Ed Coordinator, Mr. Burgess and the staff from the 588-COOP, they will help guide you on the transition from High School to life after High School.
Below is a guide you can download to help you learn more about the transition and how we can help you.
