What resources are out there?
There are many resources for teams planning for transition from school to work, employment, and independent living. Among the very best is [|SharedWork], a website sponsored by [|The IDEA Partnership] and designed to advance the collaborative work of agencies, organizations, and individuals in key areas including transition.

There are also many good resources available in assistive technology (AT) for teams who are involved in considering, assessing, and implementing assistive technology for students with IEPs. One example is [|Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (QIAT)], which reflects the work of the //QIAT Consortium.// and includes quality indicators for assistive technology service delivery as well as a powerful discussion forum for service providers and families. **This one is a must**: The QIAT Consortium also provides six Quality Indicators for AT Transition, and identifies common errors that sometimes occur during the transition process.

If there are so many resources, why add one more?
//**There are transition resources, and there are AT resources.  But what about Transition and AT __together__?** **Those resources can be harder to find.**//
