Overview

Transitioning from school to post-secondary settings can be challenging for students with disabilities. To support successful transition for our students, teachers and Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team members should assist students with disabilities in the process of developing critical skills and accessing services to achieve their post high school goals in employment, further education/training, and independent living.

The Transition planning process is critical in preparing students with disabilities for life after high school. Beginning at age 14 (or earlier if appropriate) IEP teams must develop Transition plans that include:

A student invite to the Transition IEP meeting

Age-appropriate Transition assessment(s),

Measurable postsecondary goals that acknowledge the students' strengths, needs, preferences and interests,

Transition services that support post-secondary goals

A course of study that aligns with the student's post-secondary goals

Annual IEP goal that links to the post-secondary goals

Linkages to outside agencies (if appropriate)

Transition Application

This application is designed to help Utah students and family members plan and participate in the transition planning process. As a Utah student with a disability who is 14 years or older, or a family member of a transition age student, this app can help prepare for the Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting where transition planning will be discussed, and the Postsecondary Transition Plan will be created.

(This video is no longer available.)

Hasan Davis shares his experience of often interrupted transitions through education, justice, and social support systems. Throughout Hasan’s journey outliers and resisters found ways to engage, encourage and empower him. With the support of these “Hope Dealers,” Hasan transcended his mounting list of “failures” to become an advocate for himself and eventually a champion for others.

Through story and spoken word, Hasan shares the core strategies and creative thinking that his champions (Hope Dealers) employed to help him complete the “JD shuffle” going from Hasan Davis, Juvenile Delinquent to Hasan Davis, Juris Doctor.  Come ready to celebrate, recharge and recommit to being the Hope Dealers that you are.

Disability as Possibility | Hari Srinivasan

# data[].attributes.body
Hari shares insights gathered through his personal experience of autism and discusses his research on the impact of labeling and expectations on life outcomes for students and youth with disabilities. He challenges professionals, educators, and providers to be game changers - adopting a growth mindset, an emphatic discipline, and an approach of ‘equity of access’ to support and guide students and youth with disabilities to create their own personal agency and long-term quality of life. Through that understanding and ability to see ‘disability as possibility’, opportunities are born from those possibilities so students and youth can take detours, challenge the sinkholes, pave new roads, and persevere.

# data[].attributes.body
Hari Srinivasan is a minimally-speaking autistic student at UC Berkeley, Phi Beta Kappa, Psychology major and Disability Studies minor. As a recently selected Haas Scholar, he will be conducting a year long mentored research, drawing upon the knowledge in positive psychology, which he hopes will add to the coping toolbox for autistics. Mr. Srinivasan has been the lead student instructor for a faculty-sponsored, semester-long class on autism for many semesters, and heads Team Propaganda at the makerspace UC Berkeley Disability Lab.  As a student journalist at the Daily Californian, he has written over 50 articles on both disability and non disability topics. He has been a research assistant at the university Psychology Labs and also served as the first nonspeaking president of the student body, Autism:Spectrum At Cal.
Hari was recently selected to serve on the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, which advises federal policy and priorities. He is also a Board member and Whistleblower Compliance Officer at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, Council of Autistic Advisors for the Autism Society of America and Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Frist Center for Autism and Innovation at Vanderbilt. He also enjoys creative writing with some of his poems and other work winning awards including a National Gold Medal at Carnegie Hall.

I’ve worked for the Dept of Workforce Services for 13 years. I was a youth employment counselor in 2016 when I originally got involved with the School to Work program. I worked closely with the Murray and Jordan school districts.

I was promoted to Supervisor over the WIOA Career and Education team in 2017. Since I had been working closely with the School to Work program, I took over Supervising the WIOA youth counselors that were working with the Salt Lake, Murray and Jordan School districts. I really enjoy being part of the collaboration between multi agencies and partners all working towards the same goal. Helping these students obtain employment.

Melissa Romero-McKean

I’ve worked with the Department of Workforce Services for over 25 years in multiple capacities. I started out as one of our administrative secretaries and now work as a Career and Education Youth counselor. We help customers obtain their high school education or equivalent, driver’s education and license attainment, occupational skills training, post-secondary education, job development, career mentoring and supporting our youth with disabilities find employment internship opportunities with natural built-in work supports. Sometimes it takes a village and multiple resources for our younger generation and I am proud to be a part of it and to help serve those in need of our support.

Emily Rosh

I have worked with the Department of Workforce Services for 5 years now. I started as an Employment Counselor and now I am one of the Career and Education State Program Specialists. I am passionate about helping individuals enter or re-enter the workforce. It's truly wonderful watching their career pathways blossom into something beautiful.
