Evidence-based practices in transition

Evidence-based practices in transition refer to approaches and strategies for helping individuals move smoothly from school to adulthood—such as employment, higher education, or independent living—that are supported by research showing their effectiveness. These practices use the best available scientific evidence to inform decisions, ensuring that the support provided is likely to lead to positive outcomes. By relying on proven methods, educators, families, and service providers can better prepare individuals with disabilities or special needs for successful, autonomous futures, increasing the chances of meaningful participation in community life.
