Transitioning:  Preparing for the Future  was written to help students with disabilities successfully transition from high school to adult life in metro Atlanta. This directory provides information dealing with the following areas:

 These chapters will enable the reader to identify agencies that provide or facilitate transition services in many different areas as he/she plans adequate housing and residential services, a satisfying career/vocational pursuits, an active social and recreational life, and participation as fully as possible in the community. Transition is about making choices for the future. This information is offered to promote informed consumer choice.

 The Metro East and Metro West centers of the Georgia Learning Resources System (GLRS) are proud to present this directory as a service to students, parents, and teachers who are dealing with transition issues. However, the inclusion of any agency or organization does not constitute our agencies’ endorsement of its program, and at the same time, quality programs may have been unintentionally omitted. If you are aware of agencies that are not included, please notify our offices so that these resources may be included in later versions of the directory. You may call Metro East at 404-325-3011, ext. 3290, or Metro West at 404-352-2697, ext. 247.
