TRANSITION SERVICES TASKFORCE

San Diego Regional Center
The Department of Rehabilitation
Transition agencies and services
School District staff (administrators, teachers, related services)
Families (including students)
Employers

The benefits of this collaboration are evidenced by increased stakeholder awareness of post-secondary options for transition aged youth, increased development of CIE placements and, when appropriate, early placement of students in supported employment opportunities.
