The Transition Resource Guide contains frequently used low-cost/no-cost web-based transition resources available to professionals, students with disabilities, and their families. The guide contains resources for professional development, teacher use, student use, and parent/family use. This resource guide will be updated on a yearly basis to ensure all information is up-to-date and current.
