The Transition Portfolio for Students with Significant Disabilities
The Transition Portfolio for Students with Significant Disabilities was created to address transition for students with a greater need for support from their community. It is anticipated that community agencies and other supports, along with the student and parents, will play a significant role in developing the studentÕs transition plan from school to adult services. In many cases these services need to be discussed and developed upon long before the age of 16. Therefore, the Transition Portfolio for Students with Significant Disabilities starts not at a specific grade level or age, but as early as deemed appropriate. In Rockingham County this transition starts during their first year in a multi-grade program that is based at Spotswood High School.
The goal for this Transition Portfolio does not differ from the original Transition Portfolio. With each activity, teachers provide students an opportunity to identify their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. 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 studentsÕ 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.
