Transition is a term used to refer to that time in a young person’s life when plans are made to move from school to adult life. The Transition Service has been set up to provide an effective support service for all pupils, from age 14+, for whom the Board maintains a statement of Special Educational Needs.
Transition to adult life requires a change in relationships, routines and self-image. In order to guarantee a smooth transition from school, young people with the help of their parents and others need to develop a plan for the future.
The final years of school provides the ideal opportunity to plan the needs of the individual young person which will ensure that there is no confusion, uncertainty or anxiety as to their future.
