9 Moving smoothly from requirements to effective strategies Student involvement in the IEP process o Student s strengths, interests, preferences and needs drive the plan o Involving the student and his/her family in the planning drives his/her future!
10 Invite Representative of Outside Agency When outside agencies may provide or pay for services Obtain parental consent to invite Formally invite a representative Document the invitation 10 day notice form Note in file stating invitation. If an agency fails to provide transition services planned in the IEP, reconvene the IEP team to identify alternative strategies. Districts are ultimately responsible for ensuring that needs are met. (KSDE, 2009);
11 Who should participate in transition planning & IEPS? WHY? Family Members Student Education personnel School support staff Administrators Peers and friends Community members Postsecondary Ed. staff Community Service Agency Providers Who else might be included?
12 Age-Appropriate Transition Assessments Prior to IEP meeting, conduct an age-appropriate transition assessment related to training/ education, employment, and, where appropriate, independent living skills.

13 Defining Transition Assessment Assist the student and family to determine needs, strengths, preferences & interests related to life after high school. Conduct career awareness and exploration activities Conduct a variety of formal and informal assessments (KSDE, 2009)
14 Effective Transition Assessment Strategies Why it should be more than one? Why it should be ongoing? How to be comprehensive?
