This transition guide focuses on helping students with disabilities develop self-advocacy skills that support greater independence and success in school, work, and everyday life. It encourages youth to understand their strengths, needs, rights, and goals while learning how to communicate effectively, ask for support, and participate in decisions that affect their future.
The resource is designed to help students, families, educators, and support teams encourage confidence, independence, and active involvement in transition planning. By promoting self-awareness, communication skills, and personal responsibility, the guide helps young people prepare to advocate for themselves in education, employment, and community settings as they move into adulthood.
