Purpose: Life course outcomes for individuals with significant, high-need disabilities are far less favorable than the outcomes of people with other or no disabilities (Newman et al., 2011; Shattuck et al., 2012). Adolescent-to-adulthood transition services have the potential to increase positive outcomes for people with significant disabilities, better ensuring that individuals live full, included adult lives. It is vital that speech-language pathologists, along with other school- and community-based support professionals, act in concert with family and youth to develop and implement successful transition services. Conclusion: This article describes components of an innovative interprofessional training program, "Teaming for Transition." The purpose of the program is to enhance collaboration among professionals and teach transitionspecific competencies to professionals serving students with significant disabilities.
