Transition Basic Information
Wed. Apr. 14 th 7pmTransition planning has been a part of the NJ special education regulations since 1988; how- ever, there is still confusion around it's intent and implementation. Some of the transition terms and concepts presented in the 1997 IDEA amendments cause uncertainty. An explanation is an attempt to provide clarification when developing a student's IEP. It is hoped that this will help parents understand and optimize some of the transition requirements that must be included in students' IEPs.
