New York State Regional Transition Coordination Site Network
Regional Transition Coordination Sites assist local communities to implement transition planning and services. Their objectives are to:
(1) Coordinate existing resources within the geographical area of each Site to provide information, training and technical assistance to support school districts, families, students and community agencies in their implementation of transition planning; and
(2) Assist at the local and community levels in expanding services that enhance transition of students with disabilities from school to postsecondary educational opportunities, community living, adult services and employment.
Listed below are the seven regions, the counties they serve and contact information for each. The regions are: Eastern, Long Island, Lower Hudson Valley, Mid-State, Mid West , New York City, and Western.
