Transition, From Graduation to Adult Life
Transition, from Graduation to Adult Life
To meet the needs of individuals with disabilities more efficiently, DDD is partnering with other state agencies to provide current Transition-related information. This information is geared specifically to individuals, and their families, who will graduate from the education system in the coming year . The Transition program is called Pathways to Adult Life.
Pathways to Adult Life is a team effort! The agencies that are coordinating their expertise to provide information for the Transitioning population are:
- DVRS (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services)
- DDS (Division of Disability Services)
- DOE (Department of Education-Office of Special Education)
- DDD (Division of Developmental Disabilities)
- The Boggs Center – which is NJ's University Center for Excellence at UMDNJ
Workshop and Educational Forums:
