Resources For Nevada Students
with Exceptionalities and Their Caregivers

When students are identified as having exceptionalities, their families, parents, and caregivers usually have many questions such as:

  • “What resources are available for my student?”
  • “What guidance is available to support a successful transition into adulthood?”
  • “How can I best help my student achieve their dreams and goals?”

At the Nevada Division on Career Development and Transition (NV-DCDT), we offer information, support, and resources on transition services, career planning, and post-secondary education. Here are some of the ways we help students with exceptionalities and their parents, families, and caregivers:

  • We connect them to stakeholders and resources around Nevada and the United States.
  • We offer tips and up-to-date information about transition services.
  • We help parents, families, and caregivers feel connected to the process.
  • We share options during and after high school.
  • We create a welcoming place where parents, families, and caregivers of students with exceptionalities can find information and talking points to use during the transition planning process.
  • We support and help them be more independent and aware of service providers that fit their students’ needs.
  • We advise teachers and administrators about how to involve parents, families, and caregivers more in the transition planning process, from decisions, support, attending meetings, and advocating for their students.
