What is a transition plan?

Transition planning is about helping you identify where you want to go and what steps you can take to get there.
Why should I start planning for my future early?
It is never too early to start thinking about your future. Starting early gives you time to explore your interests, discover your strengths, learn about available services, develop skills, and make informed decisions about what comes next.
Your future is your journey—and you get to help choose the destination.
What is an IEP?
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a plan developed for eligible students with disabilities who receive special education services through their school.
An IEP can help identify educational goals, supports, services, and transition activities that prepare students for life after high school.
What is a 504 Plan?
A Section 504 Plan provides accommodations and supports to help ensure that a student with a disability has equal access to education.
A 504 Plan is different from an IEP, but both can provide important supports to help students succeed in school.
What is Vocational Rehabilitation?
Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) is a program that helps eligible individuals with disabilities prepare for, obtain, maintain, and advance in meaningful employment.
VR may provide services that help students explore careers, develop employment skills, prepare for work, pursue education or training, and reach their employment goals.
Nevada TRIP can help you learn more about VR and other resources that may be available to you. Visit vrnevada.nv.gov
