Transition
What is Transition?
Transition services are crucial in supporting students as they plan for post-school goals. Transition plans assist students in meeting their post-school goals, such as gainful employment, post-secondary education or training, and independent living. Transition plans are designed to meet individual needs as students progress through school.
What is the Owasso Area Transition Team?
The Owasso Area Transition Team is comprised of members from the Department of Rehabilitative Services, Tulsa Technology Center, Owasso Schools, Claremore Schools, Collinsville Schools, and Verdigris Valley Schools. Our goal is to identify and implement ways to meet the transition needs of students and act as a resource for other Transition Teams who are striving towards the same goal.
About our Community Resource and Transition Fair
The Community Resource and Transition Fair provides students and families with a great opportunity to learn about resources for independent living, post-secondary education, training opportunities and career options, and community participation that will help them prepare to move to life after high school.

Department of Rehabilitation Services
The purpose of Vocational Rehabilitation Services is to help eligible individuals with disabilities prepare for work and become gainfully employed. The services a person receives are determined by the person's Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE). This plan outlines a person's employment goal and services that are needed to enable the person to achieve successful employment.
