The primary purpose of interagency transition teams serving youth with disabilities is to improve the post school outcomes for youth who are transitioning from secondary education to adult life. This resource is published to assist state-level transition coordinators as well as for persons charged with the responsibility of forming, conducting, and evaluating the performance of interagency transition teams serving youth with disabilities.

The transition challenges discussed are to ensure that (1) students have access to the full range of curriculum options and learning experiences; (2) high school graduation decisions are based on meaningful indicators of learning; (3) students have access to postsecondary education, employment, and independent living options; (4) student and family participation are supported; and (5) interagency collaboration is improved.
