Episode 9: Transition 201: A Holistic Look at The Arc of Massachusetts Transition Timeline

If you support a young adult with a disability, the transition from school to adult services can feel overwhelming.In this week's episode, I break down one of my favorite tools: The Arc of Massachusetts Transition Timeline—a resource that takes a truly holistic approach from ages 13 to 22.I share what I found most helpful, what I wish the handout included, and how our family navigated key milestones like person-centered planning, travel training, adult service referrals, and preparing for life after public school.#TransitionPlanning #SpecialEducation #DisabilitySupport #IEP #SelfDirection #AdultServices #FamilyCaregivers #MassachusettsDDS #LifeAfter22Shownotes:Transition from School to Adult Life–Timelines https://thearcofmass.org/resource-search/transition-from-school-to-adult-life-time-lines/ DESE Secondary Transition:  https://www.doe.mass.edu/specialeducation/iep/transition/ Pre-ETS Transition Services:  https://www.mass.gov/info-details/pre-employment-transition-services-pre-ets-0 Don't want to miss an episode?  Make sure to subscribe, rate, and comment!Follow us on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/life_without_a_filter_2025/For more information on the resources we share, visit our website:  https://lifewithoutafiltercf.com/As a Disclaimer,  I am NOT a lawyer, a medical doctor, or a licensed psychologist.  I am writing this blog as a mom sharing her journey and opinions.  My views are my own and should not be construed as any direct medical or legal advice.
