Overview
Transition services are designed to assist and prepare a student in special education to move from secondary education to the workplace or to higher education. Grant Wood AEA consultants assist schools, students and families in making transition plans.
Planning for adolescents’ post-school lives begins in Iowa by age 14, and it requires transition planning to be incorporated into the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process.
