What is a Transition Plan?

A transition plan is the last part of your Individualized Education Plan , or IEP. Up until now, your teachers, parents and others have been developing your IEP and working to make sure that you had the support and services that you needed to succeed in school. You may have been a part of your IEP planning but if you haven’t, now is the time to be an active part of the process

Your transition plan is your plan for your future. It has many different parts that help you to outline your postsecondary goals and understand what support and services you will need to succeed in adulthood. Postsecondary, is a word you will hear often, it means “after graduation”.  

One of the most important parts of your transition plan is your Vision Statement. Your vision statement is a description of what you want your life to be like when you graduate. So far, your team has decided what your Vision statement is but now it’s time to use your voice and your power to create your future.
