Federal guidelines require children who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) to have a Transition Plan for post-graduation beginning after their 16th birthday and, in some cases, as early as after their 14th birthday. This meeting is separate from the IEP meeting and focuses on the student’s interests, independence, and self-determination (Wright & Darr-Wright, 2013). The purpose of the Transition Plan meeting is for all stakeholders in the student’s education to help plan an independent future for the student.

...its’ prime. Increased mental and physical stimulated offered to a child during this time, the greater the chances of increased developmental growth. Attitudes have changed over the last few decades in regards to children with disabilities. Instead of hiding or ignoring the disability, models of advocacy and early intervention are espoused as being key to helping disabled children have academic success and also learn the social and life skills needed to transition in their adult lives. Introduction: Many years ago, when a child exhibited a potential developmental disability parents were advised to let a child ‘grow-out of it’. As the field of special education has evolved and grown, it readily acknowledged that catching issues early, not ignoring them, is the most effective way to help the child. “Early childhood experts agree that the earlier intervention begins, the better. Child development expert Burton White, who has conducted years of research with typically developing infants and preschoolers at Harvard University’s Preschool Project, believes that the period between 8 months and 3 years is critical to cognitive and social development:“to begin to look at a child’s educational development when he is 2 years of age is already much too late”(Heward, 2009, p. 535). The consensus, however seems to be that the earlier a deficiency or disability is discovered the better chances for helping a child learn to navigate the world to come. So now that the mode of thinking...

...This person observes that the child is not progressing at the usual rate. This person notices a difference in a child’s academics, emotions, behavior, or life skill. Contacting the principal of the child’s school can be the first step in the referral process. The goal of the referral process is to have the child receive an evaluation. Additional Notes: • It is important that teachers and authority figures are educated in the process so they are able to recognize a child that may have a disability. • It is the responsibility of the school to ensure every child with a disability is recognized, evaluated, and treated accordingly. Evaluation process: This is a process to determine if a child has a disability and is eligible for special education services. • The evaluation must be multidisciplinary and not just involve one person’s opinion or one test. • NDE: Non Discriminatory Evaluation—This testing is nonbiased and looks at strengths and weaknesses. This evaluation ensures that there is no prejudice towards certain cultures or races when determining if a child has a...

...years old who suffer from severe mental illness. These young adults are currently Wards of the State of Illinois and are close to “aging out” of the Child Welfare System. They currently reside in an Independent Living Program where they receive specialized support to help them transition from a residential treatment center into the community. The program emphasizes on building self-sufficiency, problem-solving skills, educational and employment development skills to prepare them for emancipation. Most lack education, housing, medical insurance, and are deficient in adaptive and social skills. They have a history of chemical dependency and an extensive involvement in the criminal justice system. Many of these young adults were stripped of family support upon entering the Child Welfare System and continue to carry past traumas of maltreatment and being removed from their homes. They are also aging out without being without being linked with adequate resources and the continuity of support services. The rescores and support system will end abruptly and they will have to quickly adapt to adulthood alone. I selected Young Adults with Severe Mental Illness as my community focus because I discovered that they face significant adversity after they age out of the Child Welfare System. As a result of being abused or neglected as a child, these young adults have spent the first 21 years of their life separated from their biological family, bouncing from one placement to another and changing...

...parents, educators and healthcare professionals (First Signs.) According to First Signs, “about 17 percent of children under the age of 18 are affected by a developmental, behavioral, or learning disability”. In general, parents are the first to identify that their child may not seem to be on the same development level as other children in the same age bracket. Typically, this becomes obvious within the first year of life. As parents begin to notice differences, a second opinion is sought out by professionals which then leads to an in depth diagnosis. One of the tests used to diagnose developmental disabilities is The Battelle Developmental Inventory. This test is used to rate disabilities in five domains: personal, social, communication, motor, and cognitive skill (TATS. 2009). The earlier detection begins, the earlier intervention can take place. Once children are diagnosed with their specific disabilities, there are priorities that are put in place for the benefit of the child and family. The leading priorities of early intervention include suitable program planning, care of the family, completing service goals, and successful transition. It is imperative that beginning treatment begins quickly. The sooner a child can begin, the better his opportunity of reaching his potential. When focusing on the child's needs early in their...

...suggestions for improvements. Lastly I will tell of the transitional programs for young students with special needs and outcomes expected from these programs. First I will explain about the diagnosis of development disabilities. Diagnosis of development disabilities can sometime be completed at a very early age, in most cases parents determine that their child has a disorder problem where it involves their child health. Sometimes the disability can show up in their physical behavior. There are specialists that can notices things right after the child is born or even after the child is a couple days old. In most cases it be specialists within the Intensive care until within the hospital that first see the signs or even the doctor that the parent pick for the child has train eyes to see what the parent may not see within the first month. Both the specialist and the child doctor work together to find out what the child needs is to survival or even if the can thrive physically within this New World that they have enter.

...When there are teams of professionals around a child, regular meetings are held to discuss any issues or progress made and ways to achieve a positive outcome for the child and parent. Also relevant referrals can be made to specialist agencies. Working together prevents duplication across all agencies, contributing to better support for the family. For example I send weekly reports to the social worker’s to update them on the progress of the young mothers and their babies. This report contains a variety of information from bonding and feeding baby to the well being of the mother. This ensures that all support is in place to help the development of the baby and parenting skills of the mother. Core group meetings are also usually held at our home...

...need. This program ensures that students are given an equal chance at receiving the best education that is right for them. One of the first steps that must be done is diagnosing what the developmental disability might be. A developmental disability means that a child is delayed in some area of development (Overview of Early, 2012). A developmental disability can occur in one of five areas, cognitive, physical, communication, social or emotional and adaptive. An example of developmental disability could be a language delay. This would mean that the child has problems processing information. This process could be either receptive or excessive. Another disability would be autism. A student that has autism has problems with communication or socialization. Some of these disabilities are diagnosed early in life from birth to age 2, while others are not noticed or diagnosed until they reach school during the ages of 3 to 5. Once the developmental disability is diagnosed then the next step can begin. Early intervention is a system of services that helps babies and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities (Overview of Early, 2012). Once a child enters schools they are set up on an Individualized Education Plan. However before a student can be set up on an IEP, it must be determined if they qualify for special...

...Smooth Transitioning For Conrad For Conrad to have a smooth transition from one program to the next, there must be a plan in place. I believe that this is what is mentioned in the case study when addressing the IEP team’s concerns and the parents concerns as well. The IEP meeting should be taking place at least six months in advance of his third birthday so that there is time to create a smooth transition for Conrad. In the IEP meeting they can discuss the program/programs that Conrad will be attending and put in place transition actions to be taken. They can also set in place what services will continue after transition and what will change (Utah Parent Center, 2012). One request I would ask for is for Conrad to stay in his current program...
