Transition refers to planning and services that are needed to prepare
youth with disabilities for moving smoothly from school to adult living,
learning, or earning roles in the community after leaving secondary schoool.
In New York City, transition components are built into the student's Individualized
Education Program (IEP). All youth with disabilities, aged 14-21
must have transition components in their IEPs. To learn more about
transition, click on the link to New
York State Department of Education Transition site which is a
comprehensive resource of information regarding transition throught the
State of New York. That site is external -- a site that is
not part of the Queens Parents Transition site -- so you will have to X
out of the site in order to come back here.
What is a Transition Linkage Coordinator?
The Transition Linkage Coordinator or TLC is the person in your child's
high school who can make certain that the Transition goals are created
and who your child can speak with regarding life after high school.
Besides this Queens High School Parent Transition Site, where else can I find out more about Transition and Parents' concerns?
Two good sites to visit are the New
York State Education Department Transition site and the Queens
High School Office Parents' Center site. These are external sites,
which are not a part of the Queens High School Transition Parents' Site,
so you will have to "X" out on the top right-hand side to get back to this
site.
