[QUOTE="buddy, post: 517078, member: 12886"] OH man! Transition planning is supposed to be like the IEP, they build it for him not he does or doesn't fit into their program.....I read your other post....such a bummer in a way that he has been such a rock star student! I am not there yet but have been calling ahead because the folks at Courage Center mentioned that THEY have vocational training etc. They said you can go thru DVR and they then can contract with them to provide services too. It sounds like DVR here starts in grade 11. I will keep plugging away but it is nice to see that some of you have had good experiences and I hope you find the same MWM! He sounds like such a great kid and it will be really interesting to hear how this all works out for him. My girlfriend just fought our district and won her transition IEP to include academic prep for college. His acuplacer scores were low but his grades in school have been A's and B's. He tests poorly. So she wanted him to be coached to do better on the test to be able to enter a program that will allow him to meet his potential and if not then to find another way. SO frustrating they said that they would work on it during down time when the kids in a cooking class were not doing much. HUH??? he didn't fit in with the "low" kids so they were ignoring his needs. She was so mad. (another sp ed teacher herself...she is really so fed up). Looking forward to your updates..... [/QUOTE]
