The Special Education Transition Portfolio
 
 
The Special Education Transition Portfolio and accompanying Transition Portfolio Resource have been created for use with students and will enable educators to accomplish several things at once. First, by utilizing the transition activities in this portfolio, the door of communication between yourself and your students regarding transition services will open. Educators will be able to explain the importance of early transition planning and how these services will enable them to be successful adults once they graduate from school and are on their own.
 
Second, with each activity, teachers provide students an opportunity to identify their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, goals, etc. In turn, this will foster within students a sense of independence and confidence concerning who they are now and what they want to do with their life after graduation.
 
In addition, this portfolio will provide the students’ parents a hands-on example of the transition activities their children have participated in each school year. This is a valuable tool for opening the lines of communication between school and home and a method to get meaningful input from parents regarding transition goals for their child.
 
Finally, documentation is being created from age 14 (or younger if deemed appropriate) through 21 of all of the transition services a student has participated in while in school.
