Writing Effective Statements of Transition Service Needs
and Needed Transition Services
Child Study team should help student and families identify their
desired post school outcomes. Many people find it useful to include a
process that helps students and family's dream about and plan for the
future. Consider areas, such as, post-secondary education or training,
employment, living situations, community participation, transportation,
health care, finances and recreation.
Determine personal levels of performance for each of the post school
outcome areas. Focus on strengths and abilities.
Discuss and decide on the courses of study (required, elective,
modified or specially designed course as well as other educational
experiences to the school or community) that the student will be taking
in each grade (or each year) from 14 years of age on.
Determine the strategies for instruction necessary during the next 2-4
years to achieve or work toward the various post-school outcomes.
Identify and prioritize those that will be addressed during the coming
year.
Determine the strategies for community experiences necessary during
the next 2-4 years to achieve or work toward the desired post-school
outcomes. Identify those that will be addressed during the coming year.
Determine the daily living skills or functional vocational evaluation
services, as appropriate to the student, necessary during the next 2-4
years to achieve or work toward the desired post-school outcomes.
Identify and prioritize those that will be addressed during the coming
year.
Specify the agency and job titles of persons providing each service
identified. Service providers may be school personnel (including general
and special education), parent, the student, community agency personnel,
and others. Specify which agency will provide and pay for each service.
Specify the extent of each service provided and the date of
initiation.
Develop annual goals and short-term objectives for each activity that
is the responsibility of special education.
Determine and specify the services, programs and supports the student
will need upon graduation to assist them in achieving their post school
goals. Be sure and link the student and family to those needed services;
programs and supports prior to the student exiting the public school.
Record those needed services, programs and supports and identify
who/which agency(s) are responsible for providing those post school
services, programs and supports.
