Transition to Adult Living: An Information and Resource Guide was designed to help students and their families, schools, teachers, communities, and state agencies facilitate the movement from school to post-school activities.

This guide supports compliance with federal and state law by showcasing research on best practices in secondary transition that helps youth move into adult roles. The guide also provides technical assistance in the appropriate implementation of the transition requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (also called, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004, or IDEA ’04). The revision of this guide reflects the Final Regulations of IDEA ’04.

The guide further supports implementation of California legislation that has a direct impact on the transition from school to adult living of students with disabilities, such as the High School Exit Exam and Certificates of Educational Achievement or Completion.
