Welcome to the Secondary Transition Program

Program Staff

The Wyoming Department of Education provides leadership and support to local school districts in the provision of secondary transition services for all students with disabilities, from age sixteen to twenty one. Transition services are required by Federal law in the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and in Chapter 7 of Wyoming Administrative Rules and Regulations.

Transition services must be an outcome-oriented process that promotes movement from high school to post high school activities. This process must be based on the individual student’s needs, taking into account the student’s preferences and interests. These services may include instruction, related services, community experiences and when appropriate daily living skills.
