STAR - Student Transition Advocacy Resource

The transition needs of students with disabilities are often complex. Under a grant from the NJ Department of Education, Office of Special Education, the Alliance is expanding our capacity to provide IL services to students with disabilities aged 14-21. To accomplish this goal, the Alliance is also providing support and services to parents and school districts in Middlesex, Somerset and Union Counties. transition@adacil.org
