[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider speaking with an educational advocate about options for extending her time in school. With an IEP she can go to school until age 22- during that time she can receive transition services, job training services, even have funds available for dual enrollment while maintaining the services and supports provided by an IEP. There are so many options available for children that aren’t quite ready to make that leap immediately when they turn 17 or 18.

Having an IEP for emotional issues means she is probably on diploma track. It would not be kn her interest to be 19 or 20 and in a transition program with kids with more significant disabilities. She needs to be in college.[/quote]

Isn’t it great that having an IEP qualifies someone for transition services and college funds vía IDEA?![/quote]
