3) Transition Planning

Transition Planning

By: Michael Fabian

Think about a student with special needs who you are either currently working with or have worked with in the past. How would/did their transition plan change from year to year? What information would you need to gather, and who could you contact for relevant information regarding transition options in your school board?

I have worked with various students with special needs and their transition plans would vary from year to year. The learning resource teacher/ vice principal has been a great mentor for me and has provided a lot of information about the topic. The basic transition plans are as follows:

• Entry to School
• Activity to Activity
• Class to Class
• Grade to Grade
• School to School
• Elementary to Secondary
• Community Hours
• Secondary to World of Work
• Secondary to Post Secondary
• Secondary to Community
