Literacy Skills and Transition Planning

When transition planning, it is important to consider literacy skills and their role in helping students to achieve transition goals. Through reviewing relevant data and collaboration with other teachers, parents/guardians, and other stakeholders, appropriate transition goals can be formulated, and students can be provided with opportunities to practice the literacy, communication, and social skills needed for successful post-high school transitions.

Read the “SPD-581 Transition Plan Case Study” and analyze the data and information provided to complete the “SPD-581 Transition Planning” template.
