The Interagency Transition Council (ITC) Web site! We offer this Web site in the spirit and purpose of a story often heard and shared as "The Star Thrower."1 Specifically, we seek to provide information and encouragement to existing Interagency Transition Councils, as well as to anyone interested in developing a new ITC. The Interagency Transition Council (ITC) team brings together a variety of stakeholders supporting youth with disabilities so they can have the best chance for success as adults." ("Interagency Transition Councils: Stakeholders at Work" – PowerPoint by Lu Nations-Miller, Ed. D., GaDOE Transition Specialist) Just as Loren Eiseley chose to emulate the star thrower, seeking to save the lives of storm-stranded starfish by lofting them back into the sea, our goal is to support you in supporting youth with disabilities to make a successful transition to adult life.
