Transition Services

Transition assists students with developmental disabilities to leave school with a job and experience a seamless transition to adult life and support services.

Students work with a Northwest Center Transition Specialist who will partner with the student's team of educators and collaborate with parents and the adult service system to help the student find a good job match before they leave school.

Utilizing our community business partners and local connections, we have enjoyed great success in finding jobs for students so they leave school with a job and enter the workforce with confidence.
Students must have a desire to have their own job within the community.
Students should be connected with the key funding agencies listed below.
  • Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA)
  • Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR)
  • Students need to apply for benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA)
Students who are turning 21 years of age and in their last year of school may receive services.
  • Students seeking services for the 2019-2020 school year must be born between September 1, 1998 and August 31, 1999.
