Transitioning from high school to adulthood can be both exciting and uncertain for students receiving special education services. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and NH Standards offer crucial protections during this time. By working together, families and schools can create Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that emphasize students’ strengths and goals in education, employment, and independent living. This content will help you explore opportunities to inform the process.

Additionally, the healthcare transition is an important aspect that takes place during the high school years. Our sister organization, NH Family Voices, provides resources on this topic. You can learn more about the healthcare transition process here.
