Transition planning includes a coordinated set of
activities designed within an outcome-oriented process,
that promotes movement from school to post-school activities.
These outcomes include:
- Postsecondary education
- Vocational training
- Integrated employment
- Continuing and Adult education
- Adult services
- Independent living
- Community participation
Students receive an array of services to help them
attain their identified outcome(s). These services
may include,
but are not limited to; career education
and guidance, social skill and self-advocacy instruction,
technology education, in-school and community internships,
on-the-job training, independent living skill instruction,
and linkage to community agencies.
A student’s transition plan becomes a part of
the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process
beginning at age 14 or younger, if appropriate. Transition
planning is a process that may include any of the following:
- Identifying the student’s post-high school
goals
- Assessing the student’s interests and
abilities in relation to identified goals
- Determining
courses, experiences, and programs that will prepare
the
student to reach his/her goals
- Supporting the student
in transition-related activities
- Determining the student’s anticipated adult
service needs
- Linking the student and parent with
potential adult services
