Transition Planning and Resource Guide For Youth With Special Needs and Their Families
This transition guide was developed to better support families and youth who have special needs in their transition from high school to adult life. The guide was adapted from the Ministry of Children and Family Development document, Your Future Now: A Transition Planning and Resource Guide for Youth with Special Needs and Their Families (MCFD, 2005).
Adaptations were made to bring this guide up to date and meet the needs of Richmond Families.
This guide has been developed so it can be jointly worked on at home and school. Once complete, you can choose to share the information gathered in the workbook section of the guide as well as the information from your child’s school with the people or agencies that are involved in your child’s transition.
We hope you find the guide helpful.
We would like to acknowledge the following agencies and programs for their input:
- Community Living B.C.
- School District #38 (Richmond)
- Delta School District – Special Needs
