Examples Of Transitional Iep
I would explain to a parent that a transitional IEP is when we start looking at life outside of school. We start transitional IEP at our school by sending home a brief explanation with the written notice. We also send home with the draft a questionnaire that ask key questions to prepare parents for what will be discussed. These are just a few.
• Where do you see your student in one year?
• Where do you see your student in five years?
• What are your goals for your student’s future?
• Where do you see your student living in after they complete school?
Parents are so use to the standard yearly meeting that this new one is something they need to really think about, up till this, an IEP meeting is like your yearly doctor visit. You go, you review
services, discuss new plans, say goodbye and see you in a year.
Remind parents that this is basically the IEP is similar to what typical parents face as their child enters high school. A transitional IEP is to help prepare your child to go from school to the world. It will be overwhelming but remember that we still review and can make changes.
We start preparing for the transitional IEP at age 14 so that by age 16 we are able to have a clear plan with clear ideas. Similar to high school, you enter as a freshman with no clue and by your junior year you better have a plan for college, vocational, etc
Beginning at age 14 the IEP must identify the transition service needs that contains the following two components:
• A statement showing how the student’s course of study are related to the student's goals beyond secondary education
• A statement of the student's goals beyond secondary education.
The difference between transitional services “needs” and “needed transitional services”. Transitional services “needs” are what the student needs to be able to meet the goal. So if the goal is to be a custodian than the student needs to be exposed to those skills but would not need to be placed in a daycare setting. “Needed transitional services” are things the student will need after the program, a common needed transitional service is to be registered for the dart program (Delaware Bus transportation).
