Employment Connections (Resources updated, February 2019) (Center for Parent Information & Resources, CPIR)

Description:

Oh, the world of work! For many youth with disabilities looking ahead to life after high school, employment will be an immediate and serious consideration. And the time to consider it well and thoroughly is during the high school years, during transition planning, and through transition services that are carefully matched to the goal of employment.

In the article Transition Goals in the IEP, we looked in some detail at how IEP teams might approach that task, with subsections specific to the domain of employment, including:

  • examples of postsecondary goals in the employment domain; and
  • examples of IEP goals corresponding to those employment goals.
