We transition from pre-kindergarten to elementary school, elementary school to middle school, middle school to high school, and high school to postsecondary.

Some services may be available to students under the age of 11, and a column has been added for Beyond Age 22. You can find specific age requirements for services in the guide. Transition is the movement of a student from school to post-school activities in training, education, employment and independent living. Transition for students with disabilities is the process of getting ready to move from school to adult life.
