If your child is in high school and has an IEP, their school should have services and programs that can help them prepare for their life after high school.
This is called Transition Planning.
Maybe that means helping them to get a job, go on to a college program, or get adult care services to help them with their daily living needs.
Louisiana law requires that by the time your child turns 16, the IEP must include Transition Planning.
Here are some things the school should be doing to support your child:
Follow the IEP: provide all instructional services and accommodations written into it
Keep open communication with you: explain all test results, programs and options so you understand your choices
Work with you and your child to create a transition plan to help them prepare for their future goals.
Offer services and programs to help learn job skills, study skills and self-advocacy training
Connect your child to outside agencies that will help them with their goals for adult life
