The special education law – IDEIA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act) – now requires, under transition services Section 614 – Individualized Education Plan, individualized education programs must now include:

(aa) appropriate measurable post-secondary goals based upon age-appropriate transition assessments related to training, education, employment, and, where appropriate, independent living skills

(bb) the transition services (including course of study) needed to assist the child in reaching those goals.

Consider using all or part of our MECA System to help meet the mandates of the new law.
