Transition:Service vs. Location

Protocol for Placement in Transition

Transition Years

Preparing students with disabilities for the transition

from school to the adult world.

By age 16, every student will have an Individualized

Transition Plan (ITP) along with his/her Individualized

Education Plan (IEP).

Instruction for the ITP goals is designed to support the

student’s transition from the public school system to post-

secondary adult life. This instruction can occur in various

environments including classroom, community, or both;

determined with input from the entire IEP team (including student, family, teacher(s) and

program specialist).
