What Does Health Have to Do with Transition? Everything! Parent Brief
Shapland, Ceci
National Center on Secondary Education and Transition (NCSET), University of Minnesota
Adolescence is a time for dreaming--for youth to imagine and set a course for the future. High school students naturally spend time imagining the future--if and where to continue their education, to find a job or pursue a career, to move away from home, or to start a family. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) includes a process to help youth with disabilities turn their dreams into reality. This Parent Brief provides information on the benefits of and strategies for including health in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. (Contains 1 footnote.)
