Minnesota Transition Guide for Teachers of Deaf/Hard of Hearing

Download MN Transition Guide for Teachers of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing [PDF]

The Transition Guide was created as a pilot project for the school year 2012 – 2013. It is meant to give guidance in the area of transition for Deaf or Hard of Hearing students.

This guide is designed to be a resource for schools and other agencies involved in the lives of transition-aged students in Minnesota who are deaf or hard of hearing. It is intended to be utilized, at the latest, during grade 9 to assist parents and service providers in the early planning for transition from school programs to employment or postsecondary education.
