Transition planning still difficult for families, educators
March 16th, 2009From Education Week:
More than three decades after the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, transition planning continues to be a challenge for students, parents and educators.
With about half of students with disabilities planning to pursue postsecondary education, many are finding it tough to navigate without the active IDEA-mandated support that was provided in high school.
Transition planning can vary widely from locality to locality, which leaves parents to piece together what they can. “Here’s what I’ve learned: It’s all about networking,” said one mother. “You have to tap every avenue you can possibly identify.”

It would be great to have the pieces, but here in Illinois all anyone ever tells you is the state is broke, Good Luck.
