Transition Services for Students
Who are Blind or Visually Impaired
A transition facilitator begins working with students when they are 16 years of age to plan for future education, employment, and/or community living arrangements. The transition facilitator leads a team comprised of parents, representatives from other agencies involved with the student (e.g., CNIB, community service), and the student as they investigate options available to the student after graduation from high school.
