Dear Students and Families:

The purpose of this booklet is to provide students with disabilities (beginning at age 14

or younger if appropriate) information regarding transition services. The guide serves

as a tool for students taking part in the development of the Individual Transition Plan

(ITP) portion of their Individualized Education Program (IEP). As members of the IEP

team, students will participate in making important decisions when planning for post-

secondary goals in education and/or training, employment and, if appropriate, daily

living. We hope this resource helps when planning for life after high school.

We encourage you to read this guide and “The IEP and You” guide before the IEP

team meeting. It is also important to review “A Parent’s Guide to Special Education

Services” (including “Procedural Rights and Safeguards”), which you received with the

IEP meeting notification form.

If you have any questions about the IEP, special education, or the information

contained in this booklet, please speak to the transition teacher at your school or go to

our website, dots.lausd.net.

I N T R O D U C T I O N

What are transition services?

Transition services are a coordinated set of activities to help students with disabilities and their families prepare for life after high school. Life after high school may include job training, college, employment, independent living, or assistance from public agencies. Transition activities, which indicate student strengths, abilities, needs, preferences, and interests, are developed from the results of age appropriate assessments. The results of these assessments help IEP teams develop appropriate post-secondary goals in the areas of education and/or training, employment and, if appropriate, independent living skills.

What is transition planning?

Students and their parents should begin planning for their future early on. Although transition services begin at age 14, it’s never too early to think about and start working towards the end goals of independence and success in adult life. Questions that families consider could include: What will the student do after high school? Will they go to college or a vocational school? Will they work in supported employment or get a competitive job? Will they live independently or continue to live at home? Will help be needed from other agencies to carry out these plans? By the time the student is 14 years old, the IEP must include activities to help the student move from high school to life as an adult in the community. This process is transition planning.

Page 38: LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENCE GUIDE · Los Angeles Unified School District. This publication does not constitute legal advice nor should it be treated as a substitute

6

TIP: Parents and students should get a head start in understanding “age of majority” rights and responsibilities.

What are the stages of transition planning?

Prior to a student’s 14th birthday, the student’s areas of strength, ability, need, preference, and interests are identified through age-appropriate assessments embedded in the instructional program. These are then documented at the IEP meeting in the ITP. Services may be documented in the form of transition activities in the areas of education and/or training, employment and, if appropriate, independent living skills. Transition activities at this stage may involve instruction around career awareness and career exploration. This includes knowledge of personal strengths, learning styles, and various occupations.

Annually, the ITP is updated to show new areas of student strength, preference, and interest. Transition activities occur throughout the year to help students learn to find and keep employment, understand differences in post-secondary education options, and achieve financial literacy amongst other topics. Post-secondary goals are determined based on the student’s desires after completing high school and documented in the ITP, along with the transition activities for the year that will support student post-secondary goals. The IEP document may also include connections to community agencies, if appropriate.

Before a student’s 18th birthday, families are informed about “age of majority”. When turning 18, the right to make educational decisions transfers to the student. However, there are legal alternatives to this rule. Parents and students must be informed about the transfer of rights by the IEP team. This act of communication is then documented on the IEP beginning at least one year before the student’s 18th birthday.

Page 39: LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENCE GUIDE · Los Angeles Unified School District. This publication does not constitute legal advice nor should it be treated as a substitute

7

TIP: Students and parents are key members of the IEP team.

What is an Individual Transition Plan? Transition planning is written in the IEP in a section referred to as the Individual Transition Plan (ITP). The ITP section of the IEP is reviewed and revised at least once a year as part of the IEP team meeting. Transition plans can begin earlier than age 14 if the IEP team determines it is appropriate. An ITP is intended to help the student plan for post-school living that may include any of the following:

Post-secondary education (2 or 4 year college or business school)

Vocational training (for example, training in computers or auto mechanics)

Supported or competitive employment

Independent living

Community participation

Who participates at the IEP team meeting?

Students and families are key members of the IEP team. When an ITP is going to be developed at an IEP team meeting, the student must be invited to the meeting. This is done by including the student’s name on the “Notification to Participate in an Individualized Education Program (IEP) Meeting” form. On page 3 of the ITP, parents are asked annually to indicate if there are outside agencies currently or prospectively providing transition services to the student and if permission is given to invite the agency the following year.

Page 40: LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENCE GUIDE · Los Angeles Unified School District. This publication does not constitute legal advice nor should it be treated as a substitute

8

TIP: Students should develop decision-making and communication skills in order to express their plans for the future during the IEP meeting.

TIP: Parents should be active members of the transition team. Parentscan take an active role in helping their student with their transition

activities. Transition activities may include participation from families,schools, the community, and outside agencies. To get the most out of

the IEP team meeting, it is best to prepare in advance.

How important is student participation? Student involvement is the most important part of transition planning. The student must be notified of the IEP team meeting in writing. The student may take part in the following ways:

Take an active role in the IEP meeting by asking questions or leading the IEP meeting

Set goals and participate in transition activities to reach goals

Find out about local resources and services

Listen and respond to team members present at the meeting

Provide information regarding personal strengths, abilities, needs, preferences, and interests

How important is parent participation? Parent participation is a key component to successful transition planning. Parents must be notified of the IEP team meeting in writing. Parents take part in the following ways:

Take an active role in the IEP meeting by asking questions

Communicate transition related concerns to the IEP team

Ask questions about transition assessment results

Help your child with transition activities (you can find examples on our website, dots.lausd.net, or through your school’s transition teacher)

Contact the transition teacher assigned to your child’s school for information and resources

9

TIP: Transition assessments help the IEP team make informed decisions for the

student’s future.

TIP: Transition services should be aligned with the student’s strengths, abilities, needs,

preferences, and interests.

What are the components of an ITP?

The results of transition planning are documented in the ITP. The specific items documented are: Agency involvement, if any Transition assessments conducted and the results The student’s interests and preferences The course of study, or courses needed from the date of the IEP meeting until

culmination

Post-secondary goals related to education/training, employment and, if appropriate, independent living skills

Transition activities to help the student achieve the post- secondary goals in education/training, employment and, if appropriate, independent living skills

People responsible for helping the student complete the transition activities

What is a transition assessment?

In order to write an ITP that addresses a student’s individual needs, the school will use age-appropriate transition assessments embedded in the instructional program. The purpose of a transition assessment is to determine student transition needs based on interests and preferences. Assessment tools may include interest inventories, interviews, academic assessment results, or student work samples. Age-appropriate transition assessments assist IEP team members with information regarding post-secondary education, employment, social skills, community participation, and independent living skills. The results of the assessment are then used to develop meaningful post-secondary goals and transition activities for the student.

Page 42: LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENCE GUIDE · Los Angeles Unified School District. This publication does not constitute legal advice nor should it be treated as a substitute

10

TIP: Parents and students can contact school-site transition teachers to help identify local agencies

available to support transition planning and activities.

What are post-secondary goals?

The school provides transition services that support the student in achieving their post-secondary goals. Post-secondary goals are goals that a student hopes to achieve after leaving high school such as going to college, attending a vocational training program, getting a job, or living independently. The IEP team must include post-secondary goals in the student’s ITP in the areas of education and/or training, employment and, if appropriate, independent living skills.

What are transition activities?

Transition activities are a set of activities designed to help the student meet the post-secondary goals written in the ITP. Transition activities may include classroom or small group instruction, field trips, employment preparation, daily living skills, and related services such as occupational or physical therapy. People responsible for helping the student complete these activities may include teachers, parents, family, the student, and other appropriate school staff. Sometimes community agencies are involved in providing transition activities.

How is the community linked to the ITP?

Several local agencies that help students with disabilities and their families receive transition services include:

Department of Rehabilitation

Regional Centers

Social service agencies

Institutions of higher learning such as community colleges

Health and mental health agencies

Community-based organizations

Page 43: LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENCE GUIDE · Los Angeles Unified School District. This publication does not constitute legal advice nor should it be treated as a substitute

11

How long do students receive transition services?

Transition services are provided until the student:

Receives a diploma, or

Reaches the age of 22 if enrolled in school, whichever comes first.

What are the graduation requirements for a diploma?

District graduation requirements are periodically changed by the LAUSD Board of Education. They should be discussed at every IEP team meeting by reviewing the student’s Individual Graduation Plan, part of the ITP course of study.

To receive a diploma the student must:

Complete required coursework;

Earn the minimum required number of credits for their graduation year;

Complete any California state requirements applicable for a given year;

Meet non-course requirements (e.g. computer literacy, select career pathway, service learning).

Students with disabilities who earn a diploma have completed their high school education and are no longer eligible for District services.

What happens if the student does not meet graduation requirements for a diploma?

If the student does not earn a diploma, he/she may earn a certificate of completion. A certificate of completion may be given to students who access standards within the general or alternate curriculum. Per California Education Code, section 56390, students with an IEP can earn a certificate of completion by meeting any one of the following conditions:

Satisfactory completion of credits of a prescribed alternative course of study as identified on the student’s IEP; or

Satisfactory achievement of his/her IEP goals and objectives during high school as determined by the IEP team; or

Satisfactory high school attendance, participation in the instruction prescribed in his/her IEP, and achievement of the transition goals and objectives.

Students with disabilities who qualify for a certificate of completion are eligible to participate in one graduation ceremony and any school activity related to graduation in which students without disabilities would be eligible to participate.

Students who earn a certificate of completion may continue to pursue a diploma and are eligible to continue receiving special education services through 22 years of age or until earning a diploma.

What is a Summary of Performance? Before a student exits high school with a diploma, reaches age 22, or exits with a certificate of completion and does not plan to continue, the teacher prepares a document separate from the IEP called the Summary of Performance. This document is a summary of academic achievement and functional performance and includes recommendations for supports required to assist the student in working toward their post-secondary goals. The Summary of Performance will help explain the student’s need for reasonable accommodations and supports when transitioning to post-secondary settings for education, training, employment, or the acquisition of independent living skills.

Estimados estudiantes y familias:

El objeto de este folleto es proporcionarles a los alumnos con discapacidades (de 14 años

o menores si procede) información en torno a los servicios de transición. La guía sirve de

herramienta para los estudiantes que participan en la sección del desarrollo del Plan

Individualizado de Transición (ITP) de su Programa de Educación individualizado (IEP).

Como integrantes del Comité del IEP, los estudiantes participarán en la toma de decisiones

importantes en la planificación de metas postsecundarias relativas a la educación y/o

capacitación, empleo y, si procede, la vida cotidiana. Esperamos que este recurso sea

útil al momento de planear la vida después de la escuela preparatoria .

Te alentamos a que leas esta guía y “El IEP y Tú” antes de la reunión del Comité del IEP. De

la misma manera, es importante que se repase “Una Guía Para los Padres de los Servicios

de Educación Especial” (incluidos los “Derechos y Garantías de Procesales”), que recibiste

con el formulario de aviso del IEP.

Si tuvieras preguntas acerca del IEP, la educación especial, o la información contenida en

este folleto, háblale al maestro de transición en tu escuela o acude a nuestra página web,

¿Qué son los servicios de transición?

Los servicios de transición consisten en un conjunto de actividades coordinadas que les ayudan a los estudiantes con discapacidades y a sus familias a prepararse para la vida después de la escuela preparatoria. La vida después de la preparatoria podría incluir capacitación laboral, universidad, empleo, vivir independientemente, o asistencia a de entidades públicas. Las actividades de transición, que indican fortalezas del estudiante, habilidades, necesidades, preferencias e intereses, son desarrollados según los resultados de evaluaciones apropiadas. Los resultados de las evaluaciones les ayudan al comité del IEP a desarrollar metas postsecundarias apropiadas en los ámbitos de la educación y/o capacitación, empleo y, si fuera necesario, competencias para la vida independiente.

¿Qué es la planificación de transición?

Los estudiantes y sus padres deben empezar a planificar su futuro lo antes posible. Aunque los servicios de transición inician a la edad de 14 años, nunca es demasiado temprano para pensar acerca del tema y empezar a trabajar hacia las metas de independencia y satisfacción en la vida adulta. Algunas de las preguntas que las familias consideran, podrían incluir : ¿Qué hará el estudiante después de la preparatoria? ¿Irán a la Universidad o a una escuela vocacional? ¿Acaso trabajarán en empleos adecuados para personas con discapacidades u obtendrán un trabajo competitivo? ¿Continuarán viviendo independientemente o continuarán viviendo en casa? ¿Tal vez se necesite ayuda de otras entidades para realizar estos planes? Para el momento en que el alumno cumpla 14 años de edad, el IEP debe incluir actividades que le ayuden al alumno a pasar de la escuela preparatoria a la vida adulta en la comunidad. Esto es el proceso de planifi cación de transición.

CONSEJO: Los padres y los estudiantes deberían adelantarse en la comprensión de los derechos y responsabilidades de la

mayoría de edad”

¿Cuáles son las etapas de la planificación de transición?

Antes de que el alumno cumpla 14 años de edad, sus fortalezas, capacidades, necesidades, preferencias e intereses son identificados mediante evaluaciones apropiadas para su edad integradas en el programa de instrucción. Todo esto se documenta en la reunión del IEP en el ITP. Los servicios se podrían documentar en función de las actividades de transición en los ámbitos de la educación y/o capacitación, empleo y, si procediera, competencias para la vida independiente. Las actividades de transición en esta etapa podrían involucrar instrucción respecto a la conciencia laboral y la exploración de carreras profesionales. Lo último incluye conocimiento de las fortalezas personales, estilos de aprendizaje y ocupaciones diversas.

Anualmente, el ITP se actualiza para efecto de mostrar aspectos de mayor rendimiento, e intereses del estudiante. Las actividades de transición ocurren a lo largo del año para ayudarles a los estudiantes a aprender a localizar y mantener empleo, entender las diferencias en las opciones de la educación postsecundaria. Las metas postsecundarias se determinan basándose en los deseos del alumno después de concluir la preparatoria y que se encuentran documentados en el ITP, aunadas a las actividades de transición para el año que respaldarán al alumno en sus metas postsecundarias. El documento del IEP podría también incluir conexiones con agencias comunitarias, si procediera.

Antes de que el alumno cumpla 18 años, se les informa a las familias acerca de la “mayoría de edad”. Al cumplir 18 años, el derecho de tomar decisiones se transfiere al alumno. Sin embargo, existen alternativas legales a esta norma. Se les debe informar a los padres y estudiantes acerca de la transferencia de derechos por parte del Comité del IEP. Este hecho de comunicación entonces se documenta al inicio del IEP por lo menos un año con anterioridad al cumpleaños 18 del estudiante.

CONSEJO: Los estudiantes y los padres son miembros clave del

Comité de

¿Qué es un Plan Individualizado de Transición? La planificación de transición se redacta en el IEP en una sección referida como el Plan Individualizado de Transición (ITP). La sección ITP del IEP se revisa y repasa por lo menos una vez al año como parte de la reunión del Comité del IEP. Los planes de transición pueden dar inicio antes de los 14 años si el Comité del IEP así lo determina. Un ITP pretende ayudarle al estudiante a planificar la vida después de la escuela, y podría incluir lo siguiente: - Educación postsecundaria (universidad de 2 o 4 años o facultad de administración de negocios) - Educación vocacional (por ejemplo, capacitación en computadoras o mecánica automotriz) - Empleo para personas con discapacidades o competitivo - Vivir independientemente - Participación en la comunidad

¿Quién participa en la reunión del IEP? Los estudiantes y las familias son miembros clave del Comité del IEP. Cuando se elabora un ITP en una reunión del IEP, el alumno debe ser invitado a la reunión. Esto se hace incluyendo el nombre del alumno en el formulario del “aviso para participar en el Programa de Educación Individualizado (IEP)”. En la página 3 del ITP, se les pide a los padres anualmente que indiquen si existen entidades particulares actualmente o en el futuro que le proporcionen servicios de transición al alumno, y si se concede permiso para invitar a la entidad el siguiente año.

Consejo: Los estudiantes deben desarrollar competencias de la toma de decisiones y

comunicación para poder expresar sus planes del futuro durante la reunión del IEP

CONSEJO: Los padres deben ser miembros activos del equipo de transición. Los padres pueden asumir un papel activo ayudando a su

alumno con sus actividades de transición. Las actividades de transición podrían incluir participación de las familias, escuelas, la comunidad y las entidades particulares. Para sacar el mayor provecho de la reunión del

Comité del IEP, se aconseja que se preparen anticipadamente.

¿Qué tan importante es la participación del estudiante? La participación del estudiante es la parte más importante de la planificación de la transición. El alumno debe ser notificado por escrito de la reunión del Comité del IEP. El alumno podría participar de la siguiente manera: - Asumir un papel activo en la reunión del IEP haciendo preguntas o conduciendo la reunión del IEP - Establecer las metas y participar en las actividades de transición para lograr las metas - Investigar acerca de los recursos y servicios locales - Escuchar y responderles a los integrantes del Comité presentes en la reunión - Proporcionar información respecto a las fortalezas, competencias, necesidades, preferencias e intereses personales

¿Qué tan importante es la participación de los padres?

La participación de los padres es un componente clave en la planificación de la transición. A los padres se les debe informar por escrito de la reunión del Comité del IEP. Los padres forman parte de la siguiente manera: - Asumir un papel activo en la reunión del IEP haciendo preguntas - Comunicar inquietudes relacionadas con la transición al Comité del IEP - Hacer preguntas acerca de los resultados de la evaluación de transición - Ayudarle a su hijo/a con las actividades de transición (se pueden encontrar ejemplos en nuestro sitio web, dots.lausd.net) - Comunicarse con el maestro de transición asignado a la escuela de su hijo/a

CONSEJO: Las evaluaciones de transición le asisten al Comité de IEP a tomar decisiones informadas respecto al futuro del alumno.

CONSEJO: Los servicios de transición deben alinearse con las fortalezas, competencias,

necesidades, preferencias e intereses del alumno.

¿Cuáles son los componentes de un ITP?

Los resultados de la planificación de la transición se documentan en el ITP. Los puntos específicos documentados son: - Participación de una entidad particular, si fuera el caso - Administración de las evaluaciones de transición y los resultados - Los intereses y las preferencias del alumno - El curso de estudio, o los cursos que se necesitan a partir de la fecha de la reunión del IEP hasta su culminación - Las metas postsecundarias relativas a la educación y capacitación, empleo y, si procediera, competencias para la vida independiente

- Actividades de transición que le ayudan al alumno a lograr las metas postsecundarias en cuanto a la educación/capacitación, empleo y, si fuera apropiado, competencias de la vida independiente - Los responsables de ayudarle al alumno a completar las actividades de transición

¿Qué es una evaluación de transición?

Con la finalidad de redactar un ITP que atienda las necesidades individuales del alumno, la escuela empleará evaluaciones de transición apropiadas para su edad integradas en el programa educativo. El propósito de una evaluación de transición es determinar las necesidades de transición del alumno basándose en sus intereses y preferencias. Las herramientas de evaluación podrían incluir inventarios de intereses, entrevistas, resultados de evaluaciones académicas o muestras de trabajo del alumno. Las evaluaciones de transición apropiadas para su edad les asisten a los miembros del Comité de IEP con información respecto a la educación postsecundaria, empleo, competencias sociales, participación en la comunidad y competencias para la vida independiente. Los resultados de las evaluaciones se emplean entonces, para elaborar metas postsecundarias significativas y actividades de transición para el alumno.

10

CONSEJO: Los padres de los alumnos pueden comunicarse con los maestros de transición en la escuela con el objeto de determinar las entidades

locales disponibles que apoyen la planificación de la transición y las actividades.

¿Cuáles son las metas postsecundarias?

La escuela proporciona servicios que respaldan al alumno para lograr sus metas postsecundarias. Las metas postsecundarias son metas que el alumno espera lograr después de abandonar la escuela preparatoria, tales como ir a la universidad, asistir a programas de capacitación vocacional, conseguir un trabajo o vivir independientemente. El Comité del IEP debe incluir las metas postsecundarias en el ITP del estudiante en los ámbitos de la educación y/o capacitación, empleo y, si fuera apropiado, competencias para la vida independiente.

¿Cuáles son las actividades de transición?

Las actividades de transición consisten en un conjunto de actividades diseñadas para ayudarle al alumno a lograr las metas postsecundarias en el ITP. Las actividades de transición podrían incluir instrucción en el aula o en grupos pequeños, excursiones escolares, preparación para el empleo, competencias de la vida cotidiana, y servicios afines, tales como la terapia ocupacional o fisioterapia. Las personas responsables de ayudarle al alumno a completar estas actividades podrían incluir maestros, padres, familia, el alumno, y otros integrantes apropiados del personal escolar. En ocasiones hay entidades comunitarias involucradas en proporcionar actividades de transición.

¿Cómo se vincula la comunidad con el ITP?

Varias entidades locales que les ayudan a los alumnos con discapacidades y a sus familias reciben servicios de transición que incluyen: - Departamento de Rehabilitación - Centros regionals - Entidades de servicios sociales - Instituciones de aprendizaje superior, tales como las universidades comunitarias - Entidades de salud y salud mental - Organizaciones comunitarias

11

¿Tiempo que reciben los estudiantes servicios de transición?

Los servicios de transición se proporcionan hasta que el estudiante:

- Recibe un diploma, o - Alcanza la edad de 22 años si está inscrito en la escuela, lo que ocurra primero.

¿Cuáles son los requisitos para un diploma?

Los requisitos de graduación son cambiados periódicamente por la mesa directiva de educación del LAUSD.

Para recibir un diploma, el alumno debe:

Completar los cursos requeridos;

Obtener la mínima cantidad de créditos requeridos para su año de graduación;

Completar cualquier requisito del Estado de California que proceda para un año en particular;

Cumplir con los requisitos que no sean cursos académicos (por ejemplo, conocimientos básicos de informática, seleccionar un sendero profesional, servicio de aprendizaje).

Los alumnos con discapacidades que obtienen un diploma habrán cumplido su educación preparatoria y, por ende, han dejado de tener derecho a los servicios del Distrito.

¿Qué ocurre si un estudiante no cumple con los requisitos para diploma?

Si el alumno no obtiene un diploma, él/ella podría obtener un certificado de finalización. Un certificado de finalización se les otorga a los alumnos que acceden a las normas dentro del plan de estudios general o alternativo. En concordancia con el código de educación de California, artículo 56390, los alumnos con un IEP, pueden obtener un certificado de finalización si cumplen con cualquiera de las siguientes condiciones:

Finalización satisfactoria de créditos de un curso alternativo de estudio prescrito, tal como se determine en el IEP del alumno; o

Cumplimiento satisfactorio de sus metas y objetivos del IEP durante la escuela preparatoria, tal como lo determine el Comité del IEP; o.

Asistencia satisfactoria en la escuela preparatoria, participación en la instrucción escrita en su IEP, y cumplimiento de las metas y objetivos de la transición.

Los alumnos con discapacidades que reúnen las condiciones para un certificado de finalización tienen derecho a participar en una ceremonia de graduación y en cualquier actividad escolar relativa a la graduación en la que los estudiantes sin discapacidades tendrían derecho a participar.

Los estudiantes que obtienen un certificado de finalización podrían continuar persiguiendo un diploma y tienen derecho a continuar recibiendo servicios de educación especial hasta los 22 años de edad o hasta la obtención de un diploma.

¿Qué es un Resumen de Rendimiento?

Antes de que un alumno sea dado de alta con un diploma, alcance la edad de 22 años, o egrese con un certificado de finalización y no tenga la intención de continuar, el maestro prepará un documento separado del IEP llamado Resumen de Rendimiento. El documento es un resumen de aprovechamiento académico y rendimiento funcional e incluye recomendaciones de medidas de apoyo que se requieren para ayudarle al alumno en cuanto a lograr las metas postsecundarias. El Resumen de Rendimiento explicará la necesidad del alumno de adecuaciones razonables y medidas apoyo al hacer la transición a entornos postsecundarios de educación, capacitación, empleo o adquisición de competencias para la vida independiente.
