The Iowa Braille School offers transition planning for students as they prepare for adult living and employment. Students everywhere think about the answers to these questions. It is important for students to be ready to make the transition to life after graduation.
Transition is an ongoing lifetime process for students who have visual impairments.
The Iowa Braille School's Transition Program assists the youth of Iowa who have visual impairments, including those with additional disabilities, as they become aware of options, set goals, and make decisions about their futures. As students graduate they and their families need to know how to access places where the graduate can live, work, and leanr. The Transition Program assists students as they investigate housing and employment opportunities. For some students the transition phase includes filling out forms for college. Students also need a healthy self-concept to know they can succeed in the world.
