Transition

TRANSITION OVERVIEW: From the time your child begins receiving special education services, his or her Individualized Education Program (IEP) guides his or her education. During the transition years, your son or daughter's IEP must contain specific transition services. IDEA requires that transition planning begin at the earliest age appropriate. The law requires that the IEP team begin no later than age 16 or younger, if determined appropriate by the IEP team) to address the student's need for instruction that will assist him or her in preparing for transition.
