Key planning activities include:
  • Identifying and inviting key members
  • Defining roles and responsibilities
  • Identifying needs and resources
  • Creating a communication plan
  • Coordinating transition planning meetings
Key implementation activities include:
  • Building collaborative partnerships
  • Conducting needs assessments
  • Developing and implementing action plans
  • Facilitating communication and information sharing
  • Engaging families and students
