Daily living skills and transition planning
Transition Planning
All Sections
Greetings,
As we are discussing daily living skills and transition planning this week, I wanted to provide some additional information. A transition plan is legally mandated by IDEA (2004) and targets the transition from high school to post-secondary school activities. A transition plan is generally discussed by age 14 and must be implemented and a critical aspect of the IEP by age 16. Here is a great resource (bookmark worthy) that highlights the value of “Post-Secondary Goals” and options for transitional planning
Postsecondary Goals
These goals state what your child wants to do or achieve after high school. Goals can be in four areas:
· Vocational training (e.g., learning a trade)
· Postsecondary education( e.g., college or other schooling)
· Jobs and employment
· Independent living (depending on student need)
