SD Transition Services Liaison Project

Transition services are a coordinated set of activities for students with disabilities who are moving from school to post-school activities.

Transition Services Can Include:

· Training to students, families, schools, and adult service agencies on transition and development of transition plans;

· Identifying and obtaining instructional materials and assistance with implementation of self determination curriculum;

· Assistance with identification of local resources;

· Development of interagency councils to address regional transition service needs;

· Individual support/assistance; and

· Paid employment to youth who have severe disabilities through "Project Skills".

Administration

The Transition Services Liaison Project (TSLP) is a state initiated project offered through the Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS), the Division of Service to the Blind and Visually Impaired (SBVI), and the Office of Special Education (OSE).

The managing agency grantee is DRS, which contracts with Black Hills Special Services Cooperative for project management.
