Transitional Services

Transitional services are critical for helping children with exceptionalities to successfully complete their schooling and transition into adulthood. One of the more daunting transitions is from adolescence to adulthood because children no longer have regular access to the professionals they did during their school years.

Using the Internet, research transitional services available in your state. The Center for Parent Information and Resources offers a helpful Web site for researching various services. You may also use other reliable sources. The details of the CPIR Web site are as follows:

Center for Parent Information and Resources. (n.d.). State agencies addressing disabilities. Retrieved fromhttp://www.parentcenterhub.org/repository/stateagencies/

Based on your research, address the following:

Analyze the services a person with exceptionalities might require as he or she transitions through adolescence to adulthood.Evaluate the transitional services available for your state.
