Audience: Teachers, Special Education Specialists, Transition Teachers and Families
Students have experienced a structured and somewhat predictable path while receiving special education services in public school settings since IDEA has been enacted. What has not been historically smooth is the transition from education to vocational or post education life. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act hopes to add structure and substance to transition
planning and support for those who are disabled. The emphasis is to create a better and more seamless structure for students to move through and gain better vocational and post education support. Teachers and special educators need to be aware of this as there will be changes in the processes of transition planning and implementation for students with special needs.
