Transitioning Youth

The Maryland Division of Rehabilitation Services (DORS) was commended for its outreach to youth with disabilities, funding of services for eligible youth while they are still in high school, and its positive relationships with partners in providing services and leveraging resources to serve transitioning students with disabilities. DORS has executed interagency agreements with four local school districts in order to ensure that students have the necessary accommodations to transition from high school. These agreements establish that DORS will purchase assistive technology for eligible transitioning students with significant disabilities and that the school will train the student in the use of that technology.
