Transition planning officially begins between the ages of 14 and 16 for most students with an IEP. However, the process is lifelong. Job Exploration Counseling, or Career counseling/guidance includes a wide variety of activities which help students explore career options and opportunities available. Job exploring options are intended to foster motivation, consideration of opportunities and informed decision-making. National Technical Assistance Center on Transition (NTACT) provides resources and tools to guide the process of transition planning - encompassing assessment and skill development to plan for success beyond school. Recently a GAO-18-502 report titled "Students with Disabilities: Additional Information from Education Could Help States Provide Pre-Employment Transition Services" noted states indicated the need for "additional assistance with identifying best practices" (p. 26). This table from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) National Technical Assistance Center on Transition (NTACT) Competitive Integrated Employment Toolkit provides a starting point for state and local Vocational Rehabilitation and Special Education agencies.
