who are enrolled in special education, who have a transition services page on
the IEP, and who are expected to exit the local education agency at the end of
the school year.
B. Definitions
1. Individualized Transition
Services Page. The first page of the IEP lists the action steps that a person
will need to accomplish in order to live, work, and recreate as an adult as
independently as possible. It must be written by the time the student is age
16, or earlier if appropriate, and revised annually until the student exits the
local education agency. Participants of the transition services page include
the student, family members, and representatives of other agencies responsible
for providing or paying for transition services.

promote movement from school to post school activities, including
post-secondary education, vocational training, integrated employment,
continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or
community participation
C. Steps to Applying Transition Criterion
1. Annual IEP

criterion as one possible area under which the student may qualify for the
ESYP. This criterion is for students who have a transition services plan and
who are expected to exit the local education agency at the end of the school
year.
b. Local education agency
transition services action steps are addressed in the IEP objectives. The IEP
team discusses different ways of collecting data and strategies for team
functioning.
2. Ongoing
Data Collection/Screening
a. Throughout the
school year, the teacher/instructional personnel monitors the transition
services page and corresponding objectives on the IEP.
b. Prior to the ESYP screening date, the
teacher/instructional personnel reviews the student's transition services page
to determine whether there are any local education agency action steps which
will not be completed by the end of the normal school year.

ESYP?
a. Questions
i. Are there local education agency
transition services page action steps that will not be completed by the end of
the school year?

student need transition services during the summer months?
