Minnesota Transition Guide for Teachers of Deaf/Hard of Hearing

Transition Timeline

The following is a list of possible transition activities to consider when preparing transition plans with the student’s IEP team. Each student's skills and interests will determine relevant items on the checklist. Use this to decide which transition issues to address at IEP meetings. Responsibility for carrying out specific transition activities should be determined at the IEP meeting.

How to use this timeline:

This timeline is intended to be a guide for students and their IEP teams as they develop transition goals. It is not an exhaustive list, nor will all items apply to all students. Transition is not a stand-alone content area and many of the activities on this list can be incorporated into content-area classes and activities.
