Meetings will: inform parents of available transition supports from the school and the community; establish a communication link from school to family to community services; identify community issues and suggest possible resolutions; and work toward achieving successful student transitions from school to adult life. 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). Once a student exits school, eligibility for services and supports is determined through the requirements of agencies outside of the school system. These sessions will provide you with information about agencies outside of the school system so support can be continued into the individuals adult life.
