Create and implement a complete four-year individualized transition plan.

This unique and exciting text uses a student-driven approach to fulfill IDEA mandates. Pat McPartland, a special educator with twenty years classroom experience, presents a concise yet comprehensive program for graduation-track special education students.

It focuses on the seven areas mandated by IDEA: Functional assessment, daily living skills, post-school adult living, employment, community experiences, related services and instruction. Each area has a sequence of skills and behaviors written as objectives that teachers, parents and students review for inclusion in the IEP. A ready-to-go, yet easy to personalize pre-IEP assessment starts the process. Ideal for transition specialists and secondary special education teachers or administrators.
