Secondary Transition
Pennsylvania Secondary Transition services are provided to students with IEP's beginning at age 14. Students and parents are provided with surveys to begin to determine post-secondary interests regarding education/training, employment, as well as their ability to access the community and living arrangements. This information becomes an integral part of the IEP and is reviewed yearly. The goal of all transition services is to best prepare our students to be successful producers and consumers after completing high school
