What should you and your child do about Transition Planning?

Work with the school team to include a transition plan and identify needed services in the IEP when your child is 14, or younger if you feel that it is needed. Discuss all the issues with your son or daughter. Encourage your child to express his or her thoughts and feeling about their future during planning meetings. In transition planning consider: * Employment * Living arrangements/housing for the future * Social and leisure activities * Security, health, and safety needs * Job/career planning.
