Current Narrative:
Transition Planning by FDBS and Educational Agency Representatives for Development and Completion of the Individual Educational Plan
The FDBS or DVR will attend meetings for the development of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) when invited, with appropriate consent and as resources allow. In collaboration with LEAs, the FDBS will provide or arrange for the provision of Pre-ETS to all students with disabilities who may need these services. The FDBS will develop an Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) - in accordance with 34 CFR 361.45 - as early as possible during the transition planning process; however, no later than exit from the school setting.
The FDBS enhanced the AWARE Case Management System to collect and track transition data required by the Rehabilitation Services Administration. The enhancements will enable FDBS to conduct differential analysis and tracking to better evaluate agency performance and identify how to best improve service delivery and outcomes for students with disabilities.
