A Parent’s Guide to Transition IEP Meetings

Transition IEP meetings are essential when your child transitions from elementary to middle school, middle school to high school, and high school to college/vocational school. If you haven’t had a transition IEP meeting for the end of this school year, you can still get one scheduled as soon as the new school year begins. We are breaking it down in today’s episode. Join us!

Show Highlights:

• What the law provides for parents regarding transition IEP meetings
• The transition IEP meeting is NOT just a box to check.
• Waiting 30 days into the new school year means 30 days of missed opportunities for the student to be successful.
• From middle to high school, the student’s diploma track has to be determined.
• From elementary to middle school, executive functioning skills are put to the test; we need to prep the student.
• The transition IEP meeting is a chance to “think outside the box” to meet a student’s needs.
• How can we “front-load” a student for success in each transition?
• Each transition is a chance for a fresh start for students, parents, teachers, and the IEP team.
• Streamlining communication with the IEP team
