Transition implies passage from one stage to another. While this applies at
all stages from preschool to grade 12, special emphasis should be placed on
particular phases of this process; for example, the transitions from preschool
to school entry, from elementary to junior high, junior high to high school
and high school to community. School-to-community transition is the
crossover from youth to adulthood and carries with it expectations of
independent living, employment, and recreational pursuits. Transition
planning must take into consideration all major aspects of each student’s
life experiences.
