Ensuring that young people with special needs make successful transitions to

adulthood requires the involvement of many systems that interface with children

and families. Recently, the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of

Pediatrics (ICAAP) and the Illinois Division of Specialized Care for Children

(DSCC) have received a 3-year grant from the Health Resources and Services

Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau to develop transition training

programs and resources.

In partnership with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), ICAAP and DSCC

have developed a school-level questionnaire to gather information about

school-based transition services in Illinois. Our goal is to develop a " census "

of existing programs in order to tailor resources and training to meet

identified needs in Illinois schools and communities.

We have included a link to a SurveyMonkey survey at the bottom of this message.

We realize that you may or may not be the best person to respond for your

school. I would ask that you would either respond yourself or forward this link

to the most appropriate person for your school.
