Transition Planning
- Ages 14 - 22
Transition planning services begin at age 14 and the student is invited to IEP meetings. The student needs to understand their role in developing their vision.
Transition starts with a student’s vision (i.e. Postsecondary Goals) determining what they want to do after they leave high school. Their future should be based on [IDEA § 300.43]:
-
what they need
-
what they are good at
-
what they like
-
what they want to do
Each IEP meeting should include:
-
Transition Planning Form (TPF) that includes Postsecondary Goals.
-
Team members should talk about what a student is interested in doing after high school and what supports they will need to get there.
-
Incorporate transition plan to the IEP Form to develop Annual IEP Goals & Transition Services.
Postsecondary Goals will likely change year to year as a student has different experiences and gains new skills.
