The Georgia Transition Manual for Students with Disabilities results from collaboration
among state agencies, teachers, transition coordinators, and university personnel. The manual
was created as a result of the Principles to Guide the Delivery of Transition Services adopted by
the Statewide Transition Steering Committee and the Georgia Action Plan for Transition that
were both developed during the 2003-2004 school year. The purpose of the manual is to provide
schools, parents, agencies, and students with a guide to transition services within the state as well
as provide information on the transition planning process. We hope this manual will serve as a
model for school systems to develop their own resource manuals for parents, students, and
professionals to access information on services within their communities
