Increase Self-direction and Self-advocacy

The Transition Improvement Grant has designed a transition app to increase self-direction and self-advocacy for all Wisconsin youth in the transition planning process. We are excited for youth, schools, families, and agencies to begin using this application!

This app is designed to help Wisconsin students and family members participate in the transition planning process. The questions in the app help students give input into the requirements of the state and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Individuals residing outside of Wisconsin may use this free app, but it is recommended that you first check your state laws to ensure the information is applicable. The information contained in the app is not legal advice. Please contact an attorney in your state if you need specific advice for your Postsecondary Transition Plan.
Access the online App here.

Increasing Access for All Learners

Overview of the App: This video provides a step-by-step use of the App, the process to download the narrative report, and ways to present at the IEP meeting.

Video Example of App in Use: This quick video shows an example of how the app can be used by students and teachers, using the read aloud option.

Transition Planning PowerPoint: This PowerPoint is a visual aid to help guide students throught the App. It was created by Greta Scherbert, a teacher in Wisconsin.

Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP) Compliance

" The IEP must include appropriate measurable postsecondary goals based upon age-appropriate transition assessments related to training, education, employment, and where appropriate, independent living skills."

The Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP) is a web-based application used to complete and document the transition planning process at the IEP meeting. In Wisconsin it is required to start this process for all students with disabilities ages 14 and older. When creating the student's PTP, there is a question specifically regarding transition assessments that must be answered. If a transition assessment is not completed at the time of the annual IEP meeting, the IEP team will not be able to move forward with the student's postsecondary transition planning.

Online Tools for Self-Advocacy

The Transition Improvement Grant has developed and revised several online tools to assist educators in providing instruction in self-advocacy to students with IEPs. Students who are able to self-advocate for their rights, and abilities are more successful with their post school goals as they are able to ask for accommodations on jobs and in college settings.

Self-Advocacy Suite Overview Guide
This guide was designed to provide educators and families with a simple comprehensive overview of each of the Self-Advocacy Suite resources. On the Overview Guide, you will find each of the resources broken down with the key objectives of the resource or tool, along with any chapter or lesson objectives. This scope and sequence overview guide is designed to be utilized as a beginning reference for understanding the resources and tools located within the Self-Advocacy Suite.
Wisconsin Self-Advocacy Curricul a Crosswalk with Student Self-Assessment
Wisconsin Transition Improvement Grant (TIG) Student Self-Assessment is a tool that should be completed with students prior to instruction and use of the Wisconsin Suite of Self Advocacy Resources and then again after instruction to monitor progress. This assessment will show the students and teachers where the strengths and needs are in current self-advocacy skills. The crosswalk will direct you to specific parts of our WI Suite of Self-Advocacy Resources for direct self-advocacy instruction that address areas of weakness shown in the assessment.

Wisconsin Self-Directed Transition Planning Lesson Plans-These 15 lesson plan starters are intended to be used by teachers to support self-direction with the Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP) with the goal of students directing their IEP process. These lessons are aligned with the Wisconsin Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP) application and were designed to be used by educators to support self-directed transition planning and instruction. The lessons are to be considered "starter lessons" and used in small sections or to develop an entire semester course. Each lesson introduces a basic concept of transition planning but also outlines extension activities to be used when creating a full course curriculum.
