- IEP or 504 plan, transition assessments, student goals and preferences, disability documentation, school contacts, graduation or exit date, benefits concerns, work experiences, accommodations, and transportation needs.
Who to contact
Start with the official BHDD-OIDD intake line or the assigned intake, autism eligibility, or case-management contact. Use the complete notice for reconsideration or appeal and the setting-specific protective-report route for abuse.
Step by step
- Ask the school to document postsecondary goals, agency invitations with consent, responsibilities, and exit evidence.
- Use the official office finder to contact SCVRD; students ages 13 through 21 with documented disabilities may access Pre-ETS without first becoming VR consumers.
- Track any later VR application, eligibility, Individualized Plan for Employment, services, and post-school handoff separately.
Expected next
A Pre-ETS referral or VR contact, appointment, application decision, IPE event, school action, or written handoff.
