The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has announced an updated publication of its resource,
“Bridging the Gap from Classroom to Community: Transition Resources Related to Communication.” This resource has a new look, with the same valuable content but with a new and improved design.
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; and
Visual Gestural Communication.
The
Transition Planning for Communication Resource

MyODP. Please contact the
ODP Special Populations Unit with any questions.
