[IEP_guide] Transition Services for Students Aged 18-21

[Guest guest]

" " Expanding postsecondary opportunities for students with intellectual

disabilities is an exciting trend, one that has the potential to impact not only

special education, but higher education as well. Yet it is important to move

toward creating these options while holding fast to the tenets that make

transition services effective: individualized, student-centered planning;

integrated community experiences; interagency collaboration; and an

outcome-oriented process. Outcomes are key to the success of this expansion.

With the current educational climate of high-stakes testing and increased

accountability, it is vital to demonstrate that transition services in

postsecondary settings are effective. To do so there must be continued efforts

to gauge the impact of such services via frequent and meaningful evaluation of

student progress and outcomes. "
