Meetings include guest speakers and open conversation between parents, educators, and agency representatives to exchange ideas.

Connecting with county agencies regarding future supports needed after graduation is an important step in transition planning. School-age students with a disability receiving special education services are entitled to receive services to access a free appropriate public education as outlined in the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

These sessions will provide you with information about agencies outside of the school system so support can be continued into the individuals adult life.
