ODP Issues Transition Planning Resources Related to Communication

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) is happy to announce a new resource, Bridging the Gap From Classroom to Community: Transition Resources Related to Communication!

Transition planning helps students with disabilities and their families get ready for life after high school and helps bridge supports between youth and adult service systems. It includes planning and preparing for employment, further education or training, and living independently.

This resource provides information on how to ensure access to effective communication while supporting individuals during the transition process.

This resource bundle includes transition information on the following:

  • American Sign Language
  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
  • Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
  • Speech and Blind/Visual Impairment
  • Tactile Communication
  • Visual Gestural Communication

The Transition Planning for Communication Resource is also found on MyODP.

Please contact the ODP Special Populations Unit via email with any questions.
