The Departments of Public Instruction (DPI), Workforce Development’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DWD-DVR), and Health Services (DHS) Long Term Care (LTC) and Division of Care and Treatment Services (DCTS) have jointly developed the following Transition Process. This process identifies the general path an individual with a disability will take from childhood to life after high school. A critical part of this process is collaboration between students, parents/legal supporters, teachers, and outside agency representatives. The transition process begins when a student turns 14 years old, however planning for this process begins early in childhood. It is important that students can explore their potential as early as possible with the support of their family and network of supports. The transition process identifies key points in a student’s transition. It is important to remember each transition is individualized to the student’s goals, needs, and supports.
