What Should I Look for in My Child’s Transition Plan?

When reviewing a transition plan, look for more than the presence of a transition section. Look for whether the plan explains where your child is headed, what skills or supports matter, what the team will do this year, and how those activities connect to life beyond school.

A useful transition plan should be understandable. It should connect your child’s goals, needs, preferences, interests, services, and activities in a way that makes practical sense.
