This paper explores the essential components of transition planning for young adults with disabilities, focusing on the quality of life through four critical dimensions: individualized planning, family support networks, community outcomes, and inter-agency collaboration. It emphasizes the role of self-determination in these aspects and distinguishes between self-advocacy and self-determination. The authors identify key skills necessary for self-determined young adults and suggest practical approaches for integrating these skills into academic lessons. Additionally, the importance of family participation and addressing barriers in the transition planning process is discussed.

Transition Planning and Services: What Does It Look Like? Fall 2009 ESE 426
Quality of Life • How do the authors describe “quality of life,” and how does this relate to transition planning?
Four Dimensions • How do the authors describe (1) individualized planning, (2) family and support networks, (3) community outcomes, and (4) inter-agency collaboration?
Self-Determination • How do each of the above four aspects of transition planning relate to self-determination?
Self-Advocacy v. Self-Determination • What are the similarities and differences between self-advocacy and self-determination? • The authors suggest that self-determination is much more than simply involving students in the IEP process. Please explain why this is, and how it might be achieved.
Skills of Self-Determination • What are the key skills that students should have as “self-determined” young adults? (Hint: the authors suggest this as part of a curriculum)
Teaching Self-Determination • Be prepared to present one idea of how these skills might be introduced into a lesson that is focused on an academic content (e.g. math, English, social studies, science, etc.), not a lesson directly focused on the skill.
Person-Centered Planning What are the key dimensions of “person-centered planning?” Consider how these elements should be part of your transition planning process.
Family Participation • What are common barriers to family involvement in the transition planning process? What are key approaches to breaking down these barriers?
Inter-Agency Involvement • Consider the importance of inter-agency collaboration on the transition planning process. Begin to think about what outside agencies would likely be helpful in transition planning for Amalia.
