Post Secondary Transition for High School Students with Disabilities

When someone is finished with high school, they have different choices of what to do next. For example, they can go to college, get a job, or do something else. This is called a post-secondary transition, which means moving on to the next step after high school.

But some people have disabilities, which means they need extra help and support to do things. This can make it harder for them to figure out what to do after high school.

So, when someone with a disability is finishing high school, they need to plan ahead to make sure they have the help they need for their next step. This is called a post-secondary transition plan.

The plan usually includes things like:

- Figuring out what the person wants to do after high school
- Deciding what kind of support they will need (like extra help with learning or physical accessibility)
- Finding out about programs or resources that can help them (like vocational training programs or disability service providers)
- Making a timeline for steps they need to take before leaving high school and starting their new path

The goal is to make sure that someone with a disability has the same opportunities as someone without a disability when it comes to their post-secondary options. It's all about planning ahead so that they can have the support they need to succeed.
