About the Texas Transition and Employment Guide…
This transition and employment guide is for you, the student in Texas public school, who may have received special
education services due to a disability. It also provides helpful information for your parents. This guide has steps you
and your parents can take to make sure you are able to find the right work or educational choices for you after high
school. It also tells you where to get the services you will need after high school.
The guide is divided into sections on Self Advocacy, Transition Services, Employment and Supported Employment,
Social Security Programs, Community and Long Term Services and Supports, Postsecondary Educational Programs
and Services, Information Sharing, and Guardianship and Alternatives. Each section has phone numbers, emails,
and websites to help you find what you need. At the end of each section and at the end of the guide, you will find a
timeline of steps that you and your parents can take as you make the transition from student to adult. If you have
questions about this guide or the information in it, please email [email protected] or [email protected].
