Audience: VT High school special educators and Special Education Directors
Purpose: This tool is designed to be used by IEP teams each year that a student is in high school. This is a tool the IEP team should be reviewing and discussing with the student and family at each annual IEP meeting. This tool was created by an interagency team that included school professionals, VT developmental disability services, VT HireAbility and VT Family Network. This training will go over all aspects of the tool as well as the updates to the tool. In addition to going over how to use this tool we will also hear from our Developmental Disability services partners on best practices regarding the timeline for students as they get closer to graduation and ready for the “handoff” from school to developmental disability services.
