Perspectives' Transitional School Services (TSS) program bridges the gap between school and adult life for students with disabilities. We work alongside educators, families, and community partners to help students build life skills, explore employment, and prepare for success beyond the classroom.
Each student receives personalized, community-based support that reflects their strengths, interests, and goals. Whether it's through job training, independent living instruction, or behavioral health support, TSS provides the structure and opportunities students need to transition with confidence.
Transitional School Services are designed for students with a range of needs, including developmental, emotional, and behavioral challenges. These services are especially helpful for students who benefit from consistent support across home, school, and community settings.
Support is personalized and evolves with each student's goals, abilities, and environment.
Students are referred to Perspectives through their local school district. We partner directly with schools to coordinate services and ensure that supports align with each student’s academic and behavioral goals. Services are typically funded by the district as part of the student’s IEP or transition plan.
Perspectives can also support collaboration with external agencies, including the Office of Rehabilitation Services (ORS), to connect students with vocational assessments and planning tools that extend beyond the classroom.

Students with disabilities ages 14 to 21 who are eligible for special education services and require transition support as part of their IEP. Referrals are typically made through the local school district.
Services take place in school, in the community, or both. They are coordinated with school personnel and families and may include job coaching, life skills training, behavioral consultation, or academic support based on the student's goals.
Start by speaking with your school district’s special education team. Perspectives can also provide information to families or educators interested in partnering to provide TSS support.
