Transition Planning Guide: From School to Adult Life.
Thompson, Sandra Jespersen
The guide is intended to assist disabled students, their families, and professionals working with them to become familiar with the variety of adult services available and to create a systematic plan for transition from school to adult life. The first section considers the logistics of transition planning and includes a description of the planning team, issues to be addressed about transition and quality of life, and timelines involved in planning. The section on the individual student profile notes areas to be addressed in transition planning, preparing for a transition planning meeting, and workshop attendance. A transition planning log is provided which tracks needed services by timelines for actions, persons responsible, and periodic review. The major portion of the document lists resources (many in Minnesota) organized into the following categories: agencies providing information and advocacy; the county human services case manager system; residential services; adult vocational/habilitation services; the Division of Rehabilitation services; guardianship; recreation and leisure opportunities; respite care; selective service registration; social security; supplemental security income, and transportation. A glossary of 23 terms or acronyms is also provided. (DB)
