What is Transition?

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (P.L. 105-17), a primary purpose of the law is to "ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for employment and independent living (34 CFR 6 300.1(a))."

To this end, the Sherlock Center has worked in partnership with public and private organizations to improve transition services for students with disabilities as they move from school to adult life.
