Life After School
A South Carolina Transition Resource
Transition is the process of planning for adulthood. It is never too early to start talking about transition. For young people with disabilities, it is about preparing for life after school, which can look different for everyone. It could mean:
- Finding a job
- Going to college or technical school
- Learning to live as independently as possible.
Because there are so many things to consider during transition, it can be hard to navigate.
Understanding the services and resources available during transition can help people reach their goals in life after school. Transition is a broad area. Some services are automatic, while others require people to apply or meet certain conditions. Everyone’s path is different, so it is important to know what is available and what fits a person’s needs. This website will help people navigate the different possibilities and empower them as they plan for adulthood.
What is Transition?
Transition is the process when young people with disabilities prepare for life after school. It can include education, experiences, supports, and services to help them have successful and meaningful lives after high school. In South Carolina, transition planning can happen any time between the ages of 13 and 24. Transition can start earlier if needed. It is a good idea to start learning about the process before age 13.
