Change in Age for Full Transition Plan to be in Place

Beginning at age 14, there is now a requirement that your child's Individualized Education Plan include a plan for successful adult living rather than just a statement. Areas addressed in this plan will include education beyond high school, employment, and independent living when appropriate. For additional information on transition plans, contact your district's special education office. You can also find more information about transition planning on the Ohio Department of Education website http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Special-Education/Federal-and-State-Requirements/Secondary-Transition-Planning-for-Students-with-Di.
