Strengths Based Approach to Transition Planning (Center on Transition at VCU Fast Facts)

Description:

Understanding the strengths and abilities of students with disabilities is an essential component of effective transition planning. A strengths-based approach to transition planning is a collaborative process that encourages students, families, educators, and others to consistently draw and share their knowledge of student strengths, skills, and capabilities. Focusing on strengths that students already possess can lead to increased academic, social, emotional, and ultimately post school success.
