TSLP provides regionally based events and activities for high school students with disabilities, their parents, educators and adult agencies. These transition events and activities provide education and information for students to make a seamless transition from high school to the adult world of employment, education or training, and independent living.

Students learn more about their own disability and others’ disabilities, how to analyze their own strengths and weaknesses, enhanced organizational skills, different leadership styles, about the legislative process and disability laws, how to influence others, etiquette, and much more!

In April 2020, shortly after the pandemic caused schools and businesses to close their doors and prevented in-person meetings, TSLP began ‘Transition Roundups’ zooms as an alternative way to share information with special educators. Due to the positive responses received, Roundup zooms continued through the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years. The PowerPoint or the recording of the Roundups are posted to this website as allowed. Scheduled Transition Roundups for the 2022-2023 school year are as follows:
