Extractions: Information Literacy Blog Designing Individualized Education Program (IEP) Transition Plans. ERIC Digest. by deFur, Sharon The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) emphasized that students with disabilities are to be prepared for employment and independent living and that specific attention is to be paid to the secondary education they receive. The law also requires coordinated and documented planning. Early and meaningful transition planning, which actively involves students and their families, has a positive influence on students' post-school success and independence. This digest describes the process of designing quality IEP transition plans. TAKING AN EARLY, LONG-RANGE APPROACH Generally, an IEP addresses services to be provided to the student during one school year. But when it comes to transition requirements, the IEP team must think and plan several years ahead. The highest incidence of dropping out and of disciplinary actions such as suspension or expulsion occurs during the first two years of high school. To combat this pattern, IDEA requires that the IEP team carefully consider post-school goals when the student is about to enter high school at age 14. Beginning at age 16 (or younger, if appropriate) a statement of transition services needed by the student must be included in the IEP. High school experiences, both academic and social, greatly influence future options for all students. For adolescents with disabilities, these experiences are pivotal. Decisions about any transition service needs or a student's course of study should be grounded in the answers to the following questions:

S. Mandel TEACHING KIDS WITH ASPERGER SYNDROME FOR THE FIRST TIME GRADES: K-12 You're a teacher. You've just found out that you're going to have a student with Asperger Syndrome (AS) in class this year. You're in for an interesting year. And that's not coded language for "brace yourself." It's a real-life perspective that teaching a child with AS often gives you as many opportunities as challenges. First, the nuts and bolts stuff. Asperger Syndrome is a neurobiological disorder on the higher functioning end of the autism spectrum. It's an increasingly common diagnosis and many kids with AS are in regular school classes. That's really the bottom line for you: finding ways to make the year a good experience for every child in the room, including the one with AS and, of course, for you. You can't discount your needs in the process. So let's make them a priority, too. First, you may want to learn a bit more about Asperger Syndrome. One of the most user-friendly sources is the

Extractions: Many parents agree that the most trying thing about having a child with a disability is the fight to get services and an appropriate education for their child - even when the school is trying to do the best thing for the student. Even though educators have become increasingly aware of the potential offered by adaptive computing technology, students and parents often run into situations where the school administrators are not aware of the potential of students with disabilities, and further, not aware of the types of technology and accommodation that are readily available today. The Americans with Disabilities Act and IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Act of 1997) mandate that all students must be provided with a free and appropriate education. Further, the IDEA mandates that all K-12 students with disabilities should have an individualized education plan (IEP) that will spell out what accommodations will best suit the needs of each child. Top The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 is the fifth set of amendments to the Education for All Handicapped Children Act. Prior to the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, children with disabilities often did not receive an appropriate education in public schools. Most often, they were segregated from the regular classroom and sent off to special classrooms and sometimes to separate schools. They were often thrown into one big group called "disabled," and they did not get the specific attention or services that would best meet their own needs. It was not uncommon for a student in a wheelchair who could do grade level work to be lumped into the same classroom situation as a student who was developmentally disabled. The school district looked at both children as being "disabled" and put them in a one-size-fits-all situation.

The district coordinates efforts with the County Office of Education and local agencies to seek out students with special needs. Anyone in the community who knows of a child with exceptional needs should call their neighborhood school. The Special Education Field Office can be contacted at (916) 971-7525. Parents who suspect that their child may have special needs should consult with the principal or resource specialist at the child's neighborhood school about special education and the referral process. Before a child can receive special education services, an assessment of the child's needs must be conducted with written parental consent. Staff at the school will assist the parent(s) and the student and determine whether a special education referral, assessment and/or services are necessary. To schedule an assessment, contact the resource specialist or principal at your neighborhood school or call the Special Education Field Office at (916) 971-7525.

Each IEP must be designed for one student and must be a truly individualized document. The IEP creates an opportunity for teachers, parents, school administrators, related services personnel, and students (when appropriate) to work together to improve educational results for children with disabilities. The IEP is the cornerstone of a quality education for each child with a disability. To create an effective IEP, parents, teachers, other school staffand often the studentmust come together to look closely at the students unique needs. These individuals pool knowledge, experience and commitment to design an educational program that will help the student be involved in, and progress in, the general curriculum. The IEP guides the delivery of special education supports and services for the student with a disability. Without a doubt, writingand implementingan effective IEP requires teamwork.
