TRANSITION TO ADULT LIFE

transition clip art 10 free Cliparts | Download images on Clipground 2023As Special Education students enter high school, planning for the transition to adult life becomes a critical part of the IEP process. As a Special Education teacher or specialist working with students in high school or older, you will work collaboratively with the student and their family to identify their dreams and goals for life after K12 public school. Transition planning includes taking specific courses, developing life skills, exploring career paths, participating in vocational experiences, and establishing connections with agencies dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities.  These are important steps that will assist your students in having a smooth transition to adult life. Because the dreams and goals of teenagers and young adults may evolve over time (as is appropriate) you are expected to take time with each student every year to conduct transition assessment, provide opportunities for college, career and living exploration, and assist them in identifying their dreams for the future. 

From those activities, the transition portion of the IEP should be developed.  It will include the student's desired post-school plans, Annual Goals, services, courses and any adult agency linkages will to lead toward those outcomes.
