The Individual Educational Plan (IEP) will become a plan that will help a student with disabilities move from school to adult life.
Transition planning focuses on plans and dreams you and your young person have for the future. The purpose of transition planning is to provide your young person with the services and the supports he or she needs to make a successful move into adult life.
Transition planning usually begins at age 14. However, it may begin before age 14 for some students. For example, earlier transition planning may help stop a student from dropping out of school. Earlier transition planning may also be needed for a student with significant disabilities because it may take more time to set up needed post-school services.
It is important to note that:
* Transition planning begins with the individual educational plan (IEP) to be in effect when the student
turns age 14 for students with an IEP.
* Transition services are a part of the IEP, not a separate plan.
* Transition planning involves the student, the family, school staff, agency staff, and others identified by
the IEP team.
* Transition planning is not a one-time event.
* The transition process continues until the student exits from high school.
