Transition 2 Life (T2L) is a self-directed program providing mild- to moderately-affected special needs students with the skills they need to transition into adulthood, and you the curriculum you need to meet federal mandates and Indicator 13 requirements. It is highly appropriate for independent study and distance learning and provides a full-year or 3-year transition program covering all major aspects of transition requirements (including a portfolio that parents/students can use after graduation) in one handy notebook.This 278-page curriculum can be used to meet transition goals during an intensive school year or throughout the high school transition years. It has been used with students as young as fourteen and into the middle twenties with positive results. The workbook is written on a high-third/low-fourth-grade level with lots of airy pages and short, direct lessons followed by a comprehension quiz or real-world activity, yet it is still respectful of teenage maturity.The units and suggested resources, including transcripts, IDEA laws, IEPs, voter registration cards, and ATM cards, etc., provide students with an individual resource portfolio that will guide them through college, employment, or young adulthood while meeting federal standards for transition services and provide you with undisputable evidence that you have provided comprehensive transition education.
