Transition
Post high school transition planning starts at age 14 in Wisconsin. It is a collaborative effort that involves families, students, school and other agencies as needed. The intent is to prepare students to move from the world of school to the world of adulthood. Below you'll find links to websites and resources that are available to support students and families in the transition process.
