Just For Parents

Transition Services Liaison Project

There is so much for you and your student to think about as they prepare to move through this transition. It can be a stressful and anxious time for your family because of not knowing what lies ahead but with a plan put together with input from all members of your student’s IEP team, your student will be on their way to success.

Transition Services Liaison Project offers additional resources for your student:

• Tips for Parents of Children who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (PDF)
• Technical Assistance Guide for Transition on the IEP (PDF)
