High School
Item Code: TTAH 2018, 6-page Laminated Reference Guide
Families and schools play a crucial role in helping children and adolescents with disabilities prepare for adult life. When we typically think of transition planning, we think of a formal process that takes place over a limited period of time toward the end of high school, from age 16 on, as required by law. However it is not sufficient to limit transition planning to what is required in student’s IEP. Rather, transition planning needs to be reconceptualized as life span planning. This new laminated guide reviews legal requirements for transition planning and also explores the best practices for collaborative planning from an early age to help ensure students with disabilities meet their full potential.
