How to Begin

The links in this column will change the page to the section you select.

As you learned before, the Post-ITT Planning Worksheet will help you determine where to begin in this section. The worksheet asks you, your son or daughter, and others on the IEP committee to rate the following statements on a three point scale. It is appropriate for use by all parties, including the student. In this parent course the worksheet is broken into sections so you can focus on one section at a time. Planning for College contains five points to consider.

Identifying:

• Personal interests



• Possible career choices



• A college goal based on interests and strengths



• Academic courses required to meet college goal



• A high school timeline of planning and application activities

To help prepare for the next IEP meeting, use the Planning for College Section of the Planning Worksheet. Following your rating of each point, there is room to record questions, concerns or thoughts, for the IEP committee. Copy and take with you to the meeting. If you are not meeting, complete the rating form to help decide where to start with the Guidance Activities.
