Which plan outlines transition services and goals for a student as they move toward postsecondary life?

• A. IFSP
• B. IEP
• C. ITP
• D. BIP

Answer: (C)

Transition planning focuses on preparing a student for life after high school by setting goals and arranging services in education, work, and independent living. The plan that specifically outlines these transition services and postsecondary goals is the Individual Transition Plan. It identifies measurable goals in areas such as education/training, employment, and independent living, and lays out the transition services, supports, and activities needed to reach them. It includes the course of study, timelines, who will coordinate the services, and how progress will be measured. This plan is typically aligned with the student’s IEP and is designed to move toward adult life, whereas the IFSP is for early intervention with infants/toddlers, the IEP covers the broader special education program, and the BIP focuses on behavior supports.
