About this app

This app is a tool for developing a transition plan for transition aged students with disabilities who have an IEP (Individualized Education Program). An IEP details special education services. A transition plan is part of the IEP, for students who are 16 years old and older. This plan helps the student move into adult life after high school. To develop your transition plan, you answer the questions in the brief 10-minute survey, and the app will produce your individualized draft transition plan based on your answers. You can then print your draft transition plan and take it to your IEP meeting. You can also email a copy of your plan to yourself or others you want to share it with- such as, your family or teachers. If you want to change your plan, it is easy. Just fill out the survey again, provide new or additional information, and the app will generate your new transition plan.

A transition plan is an important part of your IEP document. Your school must develop a written transition plan as part of your IEP. Your transition plan must be in place beginning the school year when you turn 16. Also, your transition plan can be developed before you turn 16 if necessary. You, and your parents (if you are under 18 years old) have a right to help develop your transition plan, and to attend the IEP meetings when your transition plan is discussed.

Having a good transition plan is important. It helps you get the right services and supports you will need after high school. A transition plan can help you do the things you want to do like get the job you want, train for a job, continue your education, and/or live independently. A good transition plan helps you reach your goals.

This app is intended to serve as a tool for Idaho students, family members, and educators during the transition planning process. It is based on the requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) - https://sites.ed.gov/idea/. As an Idaho student with a disability who may be turning 16 years or older, or a family member of a transition age student, this app can help prepare for IEP meetings where transition planning will be discussed and the transition plan will be developed, and/or modified. Individuals residing outside of Idaho may use this free app, but the information needed for transition plans in other states may be different. The information in this app is for general information purposes only, it is not legal advice.

This app was originally designed by the Disability Rights Center of Kansas, a non-profit organization. The app was adapted by DisAbility Rights Idaho and designed to meet transition planning needs in Idaho.
