High School & Beyond: A Guide to Transition Services in Maine

High School & Beyond: A Guide to Transition Services in Maine (PDF) offers practical information about the transition process and services available to youth with disabilities in Maine. It is designed for young people, families, schools, service providers, and anyone else working with transition-aged youth. It can be used throughout the transition process, from preparing students before they begin, to guiding families and advocates during high school, and as a reference to helpful resources after graduation.

The Guide was developed by the Youth and Community Engagement Team at the University of Southern Maine Muskie School of Public Service, in partnership with numerous stakeholders representing various state agencies, private service providers, members of the Employment First Maine Coalition and youth and families. Janet May, CCIDS’ Coordinator of Transition and Adults, was among the contributors. Funding for the Guide was provided by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services.
