Nature Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Has anyone here gone through transition planning with a child in special education with the public school? I’m interested in hearing about other’s experiences and whether the school provided extra services that you couldn’t as a homeschooler.

Storm Bay Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 What type of transition do you mean? My eldest transfered to the ps in Nov as a Sophomore, and so we met with the counsellor a couple of times. In preparation, though, I'd used the ps website to see how they did their semesters, what they called their courses, etc. I did that before dd started her freshman year in case she ever went to ps part time or switched completely. I found that helpful in writing a transcript for the ps and in granting credits, since they give 5 credits for a full course as opposed to 1 credit, and in using names they recognize. eg this school doesn't have anything called literature prior to AP, but they study lit in Academic & Honours English classes. What I didn't do was ask them what dd should take. We have state case law that stipulates what subjects we have to cover prior to high school.

Nature Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I meant to post this on the special ed board. I'm referring to transitioning from high school to college or work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
