Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA):
IEPs must include measurable postsecondary goals based on age-appropriate transition assessments.
To be compliant, the LEA must have conducted an age appropriate transition assessment prior to the IEP meeting in which the child has turned 14 years of age.
The student’s Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP) must include a completed transition assessment(s) before the IEP meeting can take place.
If the assessment is not completed prior to the IEP Team meeting, the IEP team must reschedule until it is completed.
