Transition Planning

Successful transition planning is an extensive process in which the student, family members and professionals come together to develop an action plan designed to lead the student to a successful adult life. This course provides a clear rationale for the transition planning process. You'll learn the importance of coming together as teams to clearly design the individualized transition plan within the IEP process and the importance of establishing self-determination and self-advocacy skills in your students. Finally, you'll learn how to use specific, targeted classroom activities to ensure that the completed transition plan adequately represents student preferences and abilities.
