Today’s Objectives What requirements are we expected to
meet? How do we develop IEPs and transition
components that: Satisfy the federal requirements
of Indicator 13? Reflect the strengths, needs, and
desires of our students?Empower students through
the process2

Purpose of IDEA
To ensure that all children with disabilities have
available to them a free appropriate public
education that emphasizes special education
and related services designed to meet their
unique needs and prepares them for further
education, employment, and independent living
IDEA Regulations §300.1(a)

IDEA 2004
Beginning not later than the first IEP to be in effect when the child turns 16, or younger if determined appropriate by the IEP Team, and updated annually, thereafter, the IEP must include—
(1) Appropriate measurable postsecondary goals based upon age appropriate transition assessments related to training, education, employment, and, where appropriate, independent living skills; and(2) The transition services (including courses of study) needed to assist the child in reaching those goals
![Page 5: Student Focused IEP Development: Meeting Indicator 13 Requirements Catherine Fowler, NSTTAC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814ebe550346895dbc5e9e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
North Carolina’s Requirements That Exceed Federal Regulations
Beginning not later than the first IEP to be in effect when the child turns 14, or younger if determined appropriate by the IEP team, and updated thereafter, the IEP must include a statement of initial transition components including the child’s needs, preferences and interests, and course(s) of study.

Indicator 13: Percent of youth with IEPs aged 16 and above with an IEP that includes appropriate measurable postsecondary goals that are annually updated and based upon an age appropriate transition assessment, transition services, including courses of study, that will reasonably enable the student to meet those postsecondary goals, and annual IEP goals related to the student’s transition services needs. There also must be evidence that the student was invited to the IEP Team meeting where transition services are to be discussed and evidence that, if appropriate, a representative of any participating agency was invited to the IEP Team meeting with the prior consent of the parent or student who has reached the age of majority. [20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(B)]
Purpose: To help SEAs establish a routine/process for collecting Indicator B-13 data that are both valid and reliable.

In reading, teacher records indicate that John (who’s diagnosed with specific learning disabilities) reads at an eighth grade level with fluency, but struggles with oral reading comprehension and written expression. John has not been absent a single day during his Freshman and Sophomore years in high school. He likes school, but reports that he’s embarrassed by his disability. According to a career interest inventory and follow-up conversations with his case manager, he is most interested in the careers related to business data processing and medical technology.____________ _______ will ______ ______

Transition Assessment
“…ongoing process of collecting data on the individual’s needs, preferences, and interests as they relate to the demands of current and future working, educational, living, and personal and social environments. Assessment data serve as the common thread in the transition process and form the basis for defining goals and services to be included in the Individualized Education Program (IEP)”

Possible Timeline for Transition Assessment
• 8th grade ~ Dream Sheet, Parent Questionnaire
• 10th grade ~ Career Interest (and Performance) Inventories and Observations, Self-Determination Assessment and/ or Independent Living Assessment
• 12th grade ~ more specific assessments
![Page 42: Student Focused IEP Development: Meeting Indicator 13 Requirements Catherine Fowler, NSTTAC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814ebe550346895dbc5e9e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Tips• Age-appropriate• Data gathered for “next steps” • Occur in environments that resemble actual
setting for skill• Data verified by more than one method of
assessment • Data collected over time • Use information that’s already being collected• Individualized process
![Page 43: Student Focused IEP Development: Meeting Indicator 13 Requirements Catherine Fowler, NSTTAC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814ebe550346895dbc5e9e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Considerations
• Student engagement in the process• Youthhood• iTransition at PENET.org• Zarrow Center resources (Jim Martin)• Portfolio systems for college planning
(every state has this)• Students with severe disabilities
• Time• Resource, study skills, social studies,
English, language arts…what else?• Documentation

Transition Services
• Transition services are a “coordinated set of activities” leading toward the measurable postsecondary goals.
• Transition services are not annual goals; they are
• the activities/strategies/steps/actions that the community of adults provides to help the student achieve his/her postsecondary goals.
• Includes the activity to be completed that year, the person/ agency responsible, and the anticipated date of completion

outside agency, student, or school personnel• Consider all key players Transition services must be specific and
individualized for the student. What are the unique needs for this student with disabilities that must be addressed to help him/her
reach the goals? They should not include what every other student is also receiving

preparing them for their postsecondary goals?
• Do all IEP team members know what courses will be completed between IEP date and expected exit?

Invitation to Student # 7
![Page 66: Student Focused IEP Development: Meeting Indicator 13 Requirements Catherine Fowler, NSTTAC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814ebe550346895dbc5e9e/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Invitation to Student
• For the current year, is there evidence in the IEP or cumulative folder that the student was invited to attend the IEP team meeting?
![Page 67: Student Focused IEP Development: Meeting Indicator 13 Requirements Catherine Fowler, NSTTAC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814ebe550346895dbc5e9e/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Invitation to Student
Example:• A letter, inviting the student to the IEP
meeting, is in the student’s file.Non-example:• A box is checked indicating that the
student did not attend the IEP meeting.— While student attendance is not a
component of this item, there is no indication in this documentation that the student was invited prior to the meeting.
![Page 68: Student Focused IEP Development: Meeting Indicator 13 Requirements Catherine Fowler, NSTTAC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814ebe550346895dbc5e9e/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Why the Emphasis on Self Determination(SD)?
Individuals who score higher on measures of SD have more positive adult outcomes (e.g., better employment, better living situations)
Research is emerging regarding the relationship between SD and positive school experiences (e.g., higher grades, attendance, fewer behavior problems).
![Page 69: Student Focused IEP Development: Meeting Indicator 13 Requirements Catherine Fowler, NSTTAC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814ebe550346895dbc5e9e/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Approaches for Promoting SD in Students
1. Student-driven IEP and transition planning.a. Making sure the student attends and is
PREPARED to participateb. Important step in transferring decision-
making powerc. Teaching students about the IEPd. ALL students are capable of participating
![Page 70: Student Focused IEP Development: Meeting Indicator 13 Requirements Catherine Fowler, NSTTAC](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56814ebe550346895dbc5e9e/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
1. Directly teaching skills or enhancing knowledge
2. Embedding instruction into the general curriculuma. Essay on disabilityb. Outline or paragraph with steps to meet a
goalc. Addressing technology and language arts
standards while developing a PPT to prepare for IEP meeting
3. Person-centered Planning
