HIGHLIGHTS

School systems are responsible for assuring that transition planning becomes a component of the IEP beginning at age 14; however, it may be necessary to start transition planning much earlier in order to allow the student to achieve meaningful post-school outcomes. (From the Georgia Department of Education's Transition Manual)  Read more about the topic in the Roadmap Transition section.
