The goal of transitional services is to prepare students with disabilities for adult living and may provide instruction in functional living skills, social and community skills, work skills and self-advocacy skills. In most states, these services can be provided up to the age of 21 or when the student meets his/her goals and objectives, which should be detailed in the student’s IEP (Individualized Education Program).
