TRANSITION AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
Leaving high school is a big step.
For students with disabilities, planning ahead makes all the difference.
This website is here to help students and families understand what comes next after high school and how to prepare for adulthood with confidence.
Why Transition Planning Matters
Transition planning helps students:
Find college or training programs
Get jobs or job training
Learn independent living skills
Access adult services and supports
Make informed choices about their future
Without a plan, students may miss out on services, funding, or opportunities.
Starting early helps make the transition smoother and less stressful.
WHAT’s NEXT?
College is different from high school — but with the right tools and planning, students with disabilities can be successful and independent learners.

There are many ways to prepare for work — and many supports available in Georgia.
