What is Transition Planning?

Transition means making a change, or going from one place to another. For students with disabilities, transition means going from school to the adult world. It’s important to plan early for this transition - beginning in the teen years - for a successful and rewarding future. Transition planning is part of the IEP (Individual Education Plan) process. Transition planning means: * setting goals, planning and preparing for life after high school, and * making sure that the student’s high school experiences give him or her the skills, connections, and experiences to succeed after high school.
