Section 10:95-10.2 - Transition services
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) Transition services are designed to provide the client, family, high school personnel and other professionals with specialized vocational achievement to assure a smooth transition from high school to college or work. The goal of transition services is to provide early vocational planning.
(b) Students/clients may be referred for transition services any time after the age of 14, if the need for transition services is reflected in the student's IEP. This referral should include a statement of the needed transition services, including when appropriate, a statement of the interagency responsibilities. All transition services provided by the Commission will be subject to eligibility as identified in N.J.A.C. 10:95-2.
(c) The client's current Commission individual service program shall include the services rendered by the transition counselor.
(d) The client's education instructor shall provide direct instructional and other education related services to the client, high school personnel and families.
(e) The transition services supervisor, or the transition counselor, will confer with the appropriate vocational rehabilitation supervisor on all cases where the client is in his or her last year of formal education to determine appropriate actions such as transfer to a vocational rehabilitation counselor, transfer for college services or closure of the client's case. An IPE is developed at the latest for each client as they transition from their formal education program, except for those clients who plan to utilize the Joseph Kohn Rehabilitation Center upon graduation to formulate a vocational goal. The decision to defer the development of the IPE is jointly determined by the client, his or her parent/guardian, and the vocational rehabilitation counselor and documented in the consumer service record.
