Transition Advisory Committee

Transition Advisory Committees (TAC)

Each Regional Transition Center has a Transition Advisory Committee.  the members of this Committee meet monthly to plan transition-related activities and share information.  the Transition Advisory Committee provides a forum for districts to be aware of current information regarding agencies, legal issues, best practices, and state-wide activities.  In addition, concerns at the district level can be brought to the attention of other people in the region and to the state level.  Networking with other professionals and parent representatives allows districts to collaborate to solve problems and share resources.

            Each district should have a representative on the Transition Advisory Committee.  If you do not know your Transition Advisory Committee member for your district, or if you would like more information about this group, please call your Regional Transition Coordinator.
