Age of Majority

Beginning at least one year before the student reaches the age of majority, the IEP must include a statement that the student has been told about the rights (if any) that will transfer to him or her at age of majority. What is "age of majority" and what does this statement in the IEP look like? 

Building the Legacy / Construyendo el Legado: A Training Curriculum on IDEA 2004

Building the Legacy / Construyendo el Legado gives you 19 training modules in English and 8 in Spanish covering the major topics within IDEA 2004.  Materials for each module include: a slideshow presentation, handouts for participants, and detailed background text, plus supplemental resources for trainers. You can use these materials to inform yourself or to train others.

Making Sense of Statistics in Research

When you read a research article, you're likely to run across descriptions of how the researchers analyzed the data they collected. In order to understand what the authors are trying to say, you need to understand their lingo. This Connections page can help you do just that.

Student with a Disability on the IEP Team

Of course, the student with a disability might have something to say about his or her own education!

Transition Planning

Beginning no later than a student's 16th birthday (and younger, if appropriate), the IEP must contain transition-related plans designed to help the student prepare for life after secondary school.
