Secondary transition planning is the process of preparing students for life after high school and includes planning for postsecondary education or training, employment and independent living.

For students with disabilities, Minnesota has specific requirements regarding evaluation and educational programming. Our guidance re: secondary transition due process is located on the Secondary Transition pages on the Case Manager Resources (CMR) website.

Road Maps

The Transition Road Maps identify crucial tasks for specific age periods (14-16, 17-18, 19-21) during the transition years. In addition, they provide current information, contacts, and resource sheets. These “road maps” help students and their families to “drive their own car” through the transition years as effective self-advocates.
