The Autism Speaks Transition Tool Kit was created to serve as a guide to assist families on the journey from adolescence to adulthood.
It can be used by anyone with special needs of any type to take the journey and not forget any steps along the way.
It is a long 100 plus page guide but save it as a PDF on your computer to access the parts you need when you need it.

States have different timelines and there is another resource guide on the same page for each state along with an online appendix.
New! Autism Speaks is excited to announce the launch of Version 2.0 of the popular Transition Tool Kit. The Autism Speaks Transition Tool Kit was created to serve as a guide to assist families on the journey from adolescence to adulthood.
The guiding principle that we used in developing this kit is that all individuals with autism, regardless of the level of support needed, should be able to live a life filled with purpose, dignity, choices and happiness. This kit will provide you with suggestions and options for you to consider as you set out on this journey toward finding your child’s own unique path to adulthood.
