Education Week
June 5, 2015
By Sarah D. Sparks
Audience:
Educators, Students, Parents
Key Points:
Post High School Transition is a challenging time for students, especially those with disabilities.
Students need assistance to help them start to find their own voices.
Federal Law requires transition planning no later than age 16 this includes self advocacy but there is no specific reporting on it.
Relevance:
Transition is a time when many students fumble through the process of learning to be independent. Students with disabilities, who are now graduating from high school are entering higher education at greater numbers than ever before. Students with disabilities are no longer provided accommodations and services through the IEP. There are are 2 other federal laws that provide services but not at the same level.
