TRANSITIONING WITH SUCCESS
Children and young adults with disabilities require unique planning to create successful transitions from one life stage to another. Planning for transition is embedded in the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) and the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process.
What Parents Can Expect
IFSP/IEP meetings will occur prior to your child's transition to create an opportunity to:
- discuss needed supports
- meet your child's receiving team
- request a tour of the determined program
- invite agency representatives (i.e North Bay Regional Center, or Department of Rehab)
How do I prepare my child for a successful transition?
Communicating about your child and your goals is a helpful way to help your team get a clear understanding to start with. This Goal Setting Worksheet is a tools that can help communication.
