This report provides a vision, strategies, and goals for federal agencies to improve transition services for youth with disabilities and their families by 2020. They identified five goals, which include providing youth with disabilities equal opportunity to:

  1. Access health care and work-based services in high school
  2. Self-direct their plan for transition
  3. Be connected to programs, services, support, activities, and information
  4. Develop leadership and advocacy skills
  5. Have involvement from parents and other adults with high expectations

The plan was a collaboration between the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, and the Social Security Administration.
