“Transition IEPs” with Crystal Sanford

Hey guys, as we continue on in our School Year Kick Off Series, today’s episode is going to be a huge help to those of us facing IEP Transition Planning.

If your child has an IEP, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA requires that students have an Individual Transition Plan or ITP in their IEP by the time they turn 16 years old. The Transition Plan should be based on the student’s strengths, preferences, and needs and all IEP goals must be tied into the 3 areas of continuing education or training, employment, and independent living.

On today’s episode we are happy to have Crystal Sanford of Sanford Autism Advocacy Group back on to explain all of this and more to help parents understand and feel more confident with the Transition planning process. So let’s get started.
