Online Transition Tool takes the worry out of Transition Planning
|
"I'm so glad that parents are invited to help fill out
the questionnaire with their kids – more parental
involvement puts parents and their kids on the same
page. They might learn something that they did not
know."

This past summer, we had the pleasure of
meeting with a number of special education parent
and student advocacy groups.We introduced
them to our online transition planning program called
MyTransPlanner!
The encouraging feedback was overwhelming.
Parents were excited that finally, a product exists
that can
help create a transition plan, in the privacy of
their own home! We also found out that
parents
were excited that MyTransPlanner! helps create
positive dialog between parents,
advocates, and the students themselves. In
fact,
our parent/student involvement directly relates to
the
new changes in IDEA 2004 which were finalized in
late August!
Please read on about MyTransPlanner! As
always,
feel free to contact me about how Wizdom
Education can help you and your students with their
special education needs. Have a wonderful school
year!

Students and Parents Drive Development of MyTransPlanner! for Transition Planning
"I'm relieved to
find that
Wizdom Education
supports the idea that Transition Planning should
begin in middle school. It's nice to get an early start
on what my child might need to succeed in the
future."

For students with disabilities,
choices and
decisions
about what they will do and where they will live after
high school is often complex and may require
substantial planning.
MyTransPlanner! was
created to help students and their families draw up
a realistic plan. It helps empower them to take
charge of their future.
Students with
disabilities and their family members
use MyTransPlanner! in the comfort and privacy of
their own homes to plan to make the most of the
time in high school and prepare for adult life.
The
plan covers high school education, training, home
life, and community
participation.
Families can take their well-
prepared plan to the next school meeting and obtain
the
school-provided services that the student
deserves.
MyTransPlanner! meets the requirements of
IDEA 2004 and helps teachers, students, and family
members develop the best transition plan
possible.

IDEA 2004 August 2006
This past August 2006, the final regulations of the
IDEA 2004 were published.
According to the U.S. Department of Education,
the final regulations are designed to do what's best
for students. There is a new focus on ensuring that
students with disabilities achieve to high standards.
In addition, the final regulations:
- Provide flexibility in spending resources to ensure
that students with disabilities are identified early and
accurately, and that they receive the support they
need;
- Ensure high school education prepares students
for further education, training, employment, and
participation in the community;
- Reduce burdensome paperwork for educators and
administrators; and
- Strengthen parents' involvement in their
children's education.
