future after school legally MUST begin at age 14.
 Transition planning is conducted primarily at the IEP
meeting.
 IT IS IMPORTANT to bring any past or current
materials relating to your child’s education and
behavioral goals from past and current IEPs.
 It is also important to bring as many materials as
possible regarding transition planning, to research
transition planning, and to have an idea of the
process.
TRANSITION PLANNING GUIDE

recommended that
any parent obtain a
copy of the MSDE

1
STUDENT INTERESTS
 Transition planning is a student centered process and is
legally based upon the student’s interests.
 The school might want to perform an “interest Inventory” with
the student to gather information for the transition planning
process.
 You might also want to conduct a similar process at home.
 Always review these events with the student out of school.
 The school might also do career exploration with the student
(by using various means of testing, questioning, etc.).
2
POSTSECONDARY GOALS
 Employment: Be thinking of this now (before the IEP meeting).
What might be some employment goals that you may have for
the student? What are the student’s goals?
 Training: What forms of training might the student need after
they leave school to live life?
 Education: Will the student require postsecondary education in
order to reach their transition goals? For example, if the student
wants to be a welder, what technical school are they going to
need to attend? What colleges might you be looking at?
 Independent Living (if applicable) : Many students will need to
develop skills for or require services for independent living.
Making plans for these services and needs is part of the
transition planning process. A life -skills program or other
special education services/ related services might be able to
help in working towards these postsecondar y goals.
3
COURSE OF STUDY
 Put simply, is there a specific career track that the student is
interested in that the school can start providing an education
for?
 Maryland schools provide dif ferent education tracks for
dif ferent student interests concerning postsecondary
employment. Even if the student’s present school does not
of fer these programs the district may be able to
accommodate the student’s needs elsewhere.
 ASK QUESTIONS: Where is each program located? What does
each program/ track involve academically? Etc.
4
PROJECTED CATEGORY OF EXIT
 There are three ways to successfully complete school.

 1 . High School Diploma: Will the student receive/ earn a high
school diploma?
 2. Certificate of completion : This is a confusing topic. Put
simply, this is not a high school diploma. It is a means of
providing dignity to a student and their family for the student’s
hard work when his/ her peers are graduating.
 3. Certificate of completion at the end of the academic year in
which the student turns 21 years old : Every student is legally
entitled under IDEA law to attend school and receive services
from the school through the end of the academic year in which
they turn 21 years old. For more severely affected/ afflicted
students this may be a feasible option for life skills training and
independent living.
What is a feasible date that
the student will exit the public
school system with either a
High School Diploma or a
certificate of Completion?
5
Do not leave without
being informed of this
date. Have it in
writing!!
Transition
IMPORTANT
 Always make sure that the school acknowledges that they
understand that you have rights.
 You should always be given a copy of your rights under IDEA at
the IEP meeting.
 This process SHOULD happen several times throughout the IEP
meeting if the meeting is being conducted correctly.
 NEVER be afraid to ask questions at any point in the IEP
meeting.
 NEVER sign of f on anything that you do not understand.

1
ACADEMIC SERVICES/ ACTIVITIES
What are the academic services that the
student will require and who is the
responsible party/ agency for providing those
services?
These services will be determined based upon
student needs and interests in coordination
between yourself, the school, and a third party
if one is required (such as MHA).
Make sure that the responsible party is
specified in writing.
2
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES TRAINING/
ACTIVITIES
What employment training or vocational
training will the student need in order to meet
the transition goals and who is the
responsible party for providing those services?
These services will be determined by yourself,
the school, and a third party if need be.
Make sure that the responsible party is
specified in writing.
3
ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING SERVICES/
ACTIVITIES
What social skills training does the student
need and who is the responsible party for
providing those services?
What “soft skills” (how to answer a phone,
talk to a clerk, etc.) does the student need to
meet postsecondary goals and who is the
responsible party for meeting those goals/
providing such services?
Make sure that the responsible party is
specified in writing before leaving.
4
INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES/
TRAINING
 Will the student need life skills/ functional skills training?
 Will the student be able to function on their own without
support or supervision from another adult?
 Is independent living a goal of the transition plan?
 If applicable, these services will be outlined in this section of
the IEP and at this point of the IEP process.
 It is important to carefully coordinate these services with
third parties and the school.
 Make sure that the responsible party is specified in writing
before leaving the meeting.
5
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
 Will the student be dependent on transportation
services for the remainder of their school services to
access other services?
 Will the student continue to be dependent on
transportation services after graduation?
 Will the student require specialized driver’s
education?
 Will the student require specialized equipment or
controls to be able to drive?
 If so, who will be providing these services?

Planning Guide
Page #12
REMEMBER
 Bring paperwork: previous IEPs, data from testing, medical
information, previous transition plans.
 Do Research: MSDE is VERY accessible online and in person.
Never go into a transition planning meeting without any
information.
 Transition planning is based on the student’s interests. The
school cannot decide what is best for the student without taking
this into account, listen to the student and listening to you.
 Get everything in writing!!!!!! Always ask for a copy.
 Keep people’s contact information (school, service providers,
individual teachers and school staff).
 Transition planning is an active and long process. Making the
plan is a very small part of creating a successful future for your
child.

  • 4. BEING PREPARED IS IMPORTANT  In Maryland, Transition Planning for you child’s future after school legally MUST begin at age 14.  Transition planning is conducted primarily at the IEP meeting.  IT IS IMPORTANT to bring any past or current materials relating to your child’s education and behavioral goals from past and current IEPs.  It is also important to bring as many materials as possible regarding transition planning, to research transition planning, and to have an idea of the process.
  • 5. TRANSITION PLANNING GUIDE  It is highly recommended that any parent obtain a copy of the MSDE Transition Planning Guide prior to any IEP meeting from….  http://www.marylandpublicschools.org/NR/rdonl yres/5F4F5041-02EE-4F3A-B4955E4B3C850D3E/23109/TransitionPlanningGuide _updatedJan2010.pdf  You can also receive a copy from MSDE directly.

  • 15. Do not leave without being informed of this date. Have it in writing!!
  • 16. 1
  • 17. STUDENT INTERESTS  Transition planning is a student centered process and is legally based upon the student’s interests.  The school might want to perform an “interest Inventory” with the student to gather information for the transition planning process.  You might also want to conduct a similar process at home.  Always review these events with the student out of school.  The school might also do career exploration with the student (by using various means of testing, questioning, etc.).
  • 18. 2
  • 19. POSTSECONDARY GOALS  Employment: Be thinking of this now (before the IEP meeting). What might be some employment goals that you may have for the student? What are the student’s goals?  Training: What forms of training might the student need after they leave school to live life?  Education: Will the student require postsecondary education in order to reach their transition goals? For example, if the student wants to be a welder, what technical school are they going to need to attend? What colleges might you be looking at?  Independent Living (if applicable) : Many students will need to develop skills for or require services for independent living. Making plans for these services and needs is part of the transition planning process. A life -skills program or other special education services/ related services might be able to help in working towards these postsecondar y goals.
  • 20. 3
  • 21. COURSE OF STUDY  Put simply, is there a specific career track that the student is interested in that the school can start providing an education for?  Maryland schools provide dif ferent education tracks for dif ferent student interests concerning postsecondary employment. Even if the student’s present school does not of fer these programs the district may be able to accommodate the student’s needs elsewhere.  ASK QUESTIONS: Where is each program located? What does each program/ track involve academically? Etc.
  • 22. 4
  • 23. PROJECTED CATEGORY OF EXIT  There are three ways to successfully complete school.  1 . High School Diploma: Will the student receive/ earn a high school diploma?  2. Certificate of completion : This is a confusing topic. Put simply, this is not a high school diploma. It is a means of providing dignity to a student and their family for the student’s hard work when his/ her peers are graduating.  3. Certificate of completion at the end of the academic year in which the student turns 21 years old : Every student is legally entitled under IDEA law to attend school and receive services from the school through the end of the academic year in which they turn 21 years old. For more severely affected/ afflicted students this may be a feasible option for life skills training and independent living.
  • 24. What is a feasible date that the student will exit the public school system with either a High School Diploma or a certificate of Completion? 5
  • 25. Do not leave without being informed of this date. Have it in writing!!
  • 27. IMPORTANT  Always make sure that the school acknowledges that they understand that you have rights.  You should always be given a copy of your rights under IDEA at the IEP meeting.  This process SHOULD happen several times throughout the IEP meeting if the meeting is being conducted correctly.  NEVER be afraid to ask questions at any point in the IEP meeting.  NEVER sign of f on anything that you do not understand.
  • 29. 1
  • 30. ACADEMIC SERVICES/ ACTIVITIES What are the academic services that the student will require and who is the responsible party/ agency for providing those services? These services will be determined based upon student needs and interests in coordination between yourself, the school, and a third party if one is required (such as MHA). Make sure that the responsible party is specified in writing.
  • 31. 2
  • 32. EMPLOYMENT SERVICES TRAINING/ ACTIVITIES What employment training or vocational training will the student need in order to meet the transition goals and who is the responsible party for providing those services? These services will be determined by yourself, the school, and a third party if need be. Make sure that the responsible party is specified in writing.
  • 33. 3
  • 34. ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING SERVICES/ ACTIVITIES What social skills training does the student need and who is the responsible party for providing those services? What “soft skills” (how to answer a phone, talk to a clerk, etc.) does the student need to meet postsecondary goals and who is the responsible party for meeting those goals/ providing such services? Make sure that the responsible party is specified in writing before leaving.
  • 35. 4
  • 36. INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES/ TRAINING  Will the student need life skills/ functional skills training?  Will the student be able to function on their own without support or supervision from another adult?  Is independent living a goal of the transition plan?  If applicable, these services will be outlined in this section of the IEP and at this point of the IEP process.  It is important to carefully coordinate these services with third parties and the school.  Make sure that the responsible party is specified in writing before leaving the meeting.
  • 37. 5
  • 38. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES  Will the student be dependent on transportation services for the remainder of their school services to access other services?  Will the student continue to be dependent on transportation services after graduation?  Will the student require specialized driver’s education?  Will the student require specialized equipment or controls to be able to drive?  If so, who will be providing these services?
  • 39. Do not leave without being informed of this date. Have it in 6 writing!!

  • 46. REMEMBER  Bring paperwork: previous IEPs, data from testing, medical information, previous transition plans.  Do Research: MSDE is VERY accessible online and in person. Never go into a transition planning meeting without any information.  Transition planning is based on the student’s interests. The school cannot decide what is best for the student without taking this into account, listen to the student and listening to you.  Get everything in writing!!!!!! Always ask for a copy.  Keep people’s contact information (school, service providers, individual teachers and school staff).  Transition planning is an active and long process. Making the plan is a very small part of creating a successful future for your child.
