This module focuses primarily on post-secondary transitions since the IEP team is legally required to have a post-secondary transition plan in place once a child with a disability is 14 years old. However, please feel free to address other educational transitions as well (e.g., from home to early childhood; from elementary to middle school; from self-contained to ICT classroom; etc.).
