#87 - IEP Adult Transition Planning: Is It Working?

Transition planning begins during the teen years and becomes part of the IEP between the ages of 14 - 16. Does the process work? Are we focusing on the right areas?

1) Actual Post Secondary IDEA Outcomes

2) Identifying the Most Significant Challenges Upon Leaving the System

3) Parental Input on the Effectiveness of Transition Teams and Suggestions for Improvement
