Expanding inclusive transition programs for students with severe disabilities

AI Summary

This bill expands inclusive transition programs for students with severe disabilities by requiring the executive office of education to create guidelines by January 1, 2015, and by amending Chapter 71B of the General Laws to include specific options for older students, ages 18-22. These options aim to support their transition into adulthood and include continuing education, enrollment in credit and noncredit courses alongside students without disabilities at higher education institutions, developing skills for independent living, job seeking and maintenance, accessing community services, and managing their own medical needs.
