Transition Network Facilitation

Transition Network Facilitation promotes successful and seamless transition of students from school to adult life. Clackamas ESD serves Transition Network Facilitation in Clackamas, Hood River, Wasco, Gilliam, Sherman, Marion, Polk, Yamhill and Tillamook counties to help students with disabilities ages 14 to 21 shift from school to integrated, competitive employment. We share best practices, strategies and resources with schools and community partners to help improve post-school outcomes. We're also a convener, connecting educators with relevant agencies to identify and address school-to work transition barriers.

We are a part of the Transition Technical Assistance Network (TTAN), a collective serving the state of Oregon that includes:

Learn more about Benefits and Work Incentive Counseling.

There are many helpful resources on the FACT Oregon webpage, including ways to help you guide your teen or young adult as they transition to adulthood and a support line to connect to other families navigating similar systems.
