This app is a tool for developing a transition plan for high-school aged students with disabilities who have an IEP (Individualized Education Program). An IEP details special education services. A transition plan is part of the IEP, for students who are 16 years old and older. This plan helps the student move into adult life after high school. To develop your transition plan, you answer the questions in the brief 10 minute survey, and the app will produce your individualized draft transition plan based on your answers. You can then print your draft transition plan and take it to your IEP meeting. You can also email a copy of your plan to yourself or others you want to share it with. If you want to change your plan, it is easy. Just fill out the survey again, provide new or additional information, and the app will generate your new transition plan.

A transition plan is an important part of your IEP document. Your school must develop a written transition plan as part of your IEP. Your transition plan must be in place beginning the school year when you will turn 16. Also, your transition plan can be developed before you turn 16. You, and your parents (if you are under 18 years old) have a right to help develop your transition plan, and to attend the IEP meetings when your transition plan is discussed.

Having a good transition plan is important. It helps you get the right services and supports you will need after high school. A transition plan can help you do the things you want to do like get the job you want, train for a job, continue your education, and live independently. A good transition plan helps you reach your dreams.
