Once Your Child Turns 15, Begin to Look into Transition Services


Transition Services involve preparing your child for a life of maximum independence once they become an adult.

Transition Services are required by law to be provided by the school system to eligible students at age 16 and can continue through age 21 for qualified individuals.

Government-funded Transition Services can also be provided through a Center for Independent Living such as the following:

Access to Independence is an independent living center, a nonresidential, cross-disability, non-profit corporations that provide services to people with disabilities to help maximize their independence and fully integrate into their communities. Access to Independence is one of 391 independent living centers across the country and one of 29 serving Californians. Like all independent living centers Access to Independence offers required federal and state programs and services to people of all disability types and ages at no charge.
