Conversations with studentsWhen you graduate high school where do you want to live, where do you want to learn (continue education), and where do you want to work. Those three questions are the basis of where to start your conversation about transition.

After the transition assessments have been given then talk with the students about the results and how they compare to the three questions that you asked them earlier.

Have the students brainstorm ideas with you about how to improve their scores and achieve their yearly and post-secondary transition goals.

As the student progresses through high school they should be more in charge of each IEP meeting held so that by the time they are a senior they are running their meeting.Conversations with parentsBy the time many students have reached high school parents have somewhat given up on any dreams that they once had for their child.

Conversations about transition and goals can help the parents once again feel hopeful about their child's future. Post-secondary GoalsThis is where you use the answers from the three questions you asked the student.

Where do you want to live?Where do you want to learn?Where do you want to work?
