What is an ITP?
An Individual Transition Plan (ITP) is an IEP student's map to life after high school. It lists the goals, steps and services needed for the student to transition successfully from school to the adult world. The first step towards an ITP is for the IEP team to complete a Transition Planning Interview with the student to identify the student's transition needs and goals. The team then develops an ITP that supports and outlines the steps towards the goals. The ITP is part of the students' IEP.
