The plans should include measurable postsecondary goals, relevant courses of study, and annual IEP goals related to transition services.

Evidence-Based Practices in Secondary Transition

Evidence-based practices in secondary transition refer to a set of strategies and interventions that have been proven effective through rigorous research in helping students with disabilities successfully transition from high school to post-school life. These practices focus on areas such as career exploration and planning, self-advocacy and self-determination, community involvement and support, and individualized instruction and support. By using evidence-based practices, educators, families, and other individuals can help ensure that students with disabilities have the necessary skills and resources to achieve their post-secondary goals and lead fulfilling lives as independent adults.
