1. Transition Planning
2. Think back… In high school, what were your dreams and hopes for the future?
What did you see as the road blocks to reaching your goals?
What guidance, training and supports would have helped you to reach your goals?
3. Transition Planning The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) 2004 mandates transition planning and services for all students beginning with the IEP that is in effect when the student turns 16 years of age, or earlier if appropriate.
Transition planning is essential to preparing high school students for adult roles and generally involves three key steps.
4. Key Steps in Transition Planning Coaching every student, along with his or her family, to think about goals for life after high school and to develop a long-range plan to get there;
Designing the high school experience to ensure that the student gains the skills and competencies needed to achieve his or her desired goals; and
Identifying and linking students and families to any needed post-school services and supports.
