Ventura County Transition Project - A group of school and agency staff and families that works together to impove the transition process for special edcuation students.
“Transition Fairs” are informational meetings provided for families and their teenagers to learn about the transition process and available adult resources. The first hour of each fair is a presentation on the transition process in the IEP, and in the second hour families and students can visit individual “booths” from providers.
The fairs are held in the evening once a year in February, at four different locations around the county.
