Agenda Transition Agency Linkage Entitlement v. Eligibility Questions

IDEA's definition for "transition services" (a)Transition services means a coordinated set of activities for a child with a disability that- (1) Is designed to be within a results-oriented process, that is focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the child with a disability to facilitate the child’s movement from school to post-school activities, including postsecondary education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, and/or community participation; (2) Is based on the individual child’s needs, taking into account the child’s strengths, preferences, and interests; and includes- Instruction; Related services; Community experiences; The development of employment and other post-school adult living objectives; and If appropriate, acquisition of daily living skills and functional vocational evaluation. (b) Transition services for children with disabilities may be special education, if provided as specially designed instruction, or a related service, if required to assist a child with a disability to benefit from special education.

In layman’s terms…. Transition is a mindset which should occur early and often to empower individuals with disabilities with the skills, tools, and resources to enable them to explore, envision, and reach a variety of options which will connect them to the world beyond school.

Entitlement v. Eligibility In Maryland, a student with a disability who is receiving special education services is entitled to a free appropriate public education through the school year in which the student turns 21 years of age (IDEA, 2004) or has met the requirements for a Maryland High school Diploma or a Maryland High School Certificate of Program Completion. Once a student exits school he or she must meet eligibility requirements and funding availability in order to receive services from adult agencies.
