Transition planning from school to adult life is a crucial aspect of ensuring individuals with additional needs have the support and resources they need to lead fulfilling lives. With the introduction of the new transition planning IEP form, understanding its purpose and how it benefits those in the transition process is essential.
In this episode of Parenting Impossible, Annette Hines and Graham Caldow dive deep into transition planning for young people with disabilities as they prepare for adulthood. Graham, drawing from his personal experiences and his book “What’s Possible? Plan A Better Future for Your Young Adult with Additional Needs,” discusses the importance of a structured yet personalized approach to goal-setting. He emphasizes the importance of involving young people in their own planning, using his “Red Giraffe” tool as both a symbol and a practical example of how transition planning can be tailored to fit each individual's unique needs. Transition planning focuses on setting goals and creating a roadmap to help individuals transition smoothly from school to post-school life, ensuring they have the skills and support needed to find purpose and achieve their goals.
