The Disability Law Center in Boston, Massachusetts is now rolling out an online manual on special education transition services, available through the hyperlink below.

It is based on Massachusetts and federal law, but advocates in other jurisdictions may find it to be useful as well. This Manual is written for parents and students who are advocating for better transition services, including social, vocational and independent living skills. It is written in an easy-to-understand format but also contains “Endnotes” and an Appendix at the end of the Manual with legal information for attorneys and experienced advocates.

The Manual was edited by the Disability Law Center (DLC), in partnership with the Federation for Children with Special Needs, the Institute for Community Inclusion, and Massachusetts Advocates for Children. It was written by the Northeastern University School of Law Legal Skills in Social Context program.
DLC will be updating and improving the Manual on a regular basis. It plans to include more videos of students, parents and advocates, in English, ASL and Spanish, as well as updates on legal developments, new forms, and other practical advice.
