Visions Transition Planning

[Guest guest]

Effective Transition Planning for Parents

FACT OR FICTION?

.. Your Child with an IEP does not need a Transition Plan if he/she is going on

to college.

.. Employment planning is exclusively for students who will be working after high

school.

.. Only students with the most severe disabilities are eligible for a Transition

Plan.

.. A Transition plan should begin junior year or Age 16, whichever come first.

ALL OF THESE STATEMENTS ARE FICTION

The Third Annual Visions will provide a basic yet comprehensive overview of what

every parent of a

student with an IEP needs to know about Post Secondary Transition Planning.

Transition Planning is a

process designed to identify student goals for life after high school (school,

work, or both) and steps

necessary to meet those goals.

Attendance at both sessions is strongly encouraged for middle school and high

school parents. These

sessions are free of charge to families who reside in NSSED member districts. If

your district is not a

member of NSSED and you would like to attend, please contact Judy Sutton
