Section 5: Postsecondary Options Section 6: Independent Living Section 1: What is Transition? Transition services means a coordinated set of activities for a student with a disability that is designed to be a results-oriented process, that is focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the student with a disability to facilitate the students movement from school to post-school activities, including postsecondary education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation. Transition is based on the individual students needs, taking into account the students strengths, preferences, and interests; and including instruction, related services, community experiences, the development of employment and other post- school adult living objectives, and if appropriate, acquisition of daily living skills and provision of a functional vocational evaluation.
