Transition Students and IEPs

Self-determination is a primary goal of many transition programs for high school students with disabilities. Learning to use public transportation can increase self-determination, thereby enhancing a student’s ability to pursue further education, vocational training, or other employment. It can also enhance opportunities for recreational engagement with peers in the community. Travel training may be included in a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to ensure that the student receives the life skills needed for post-secondary success.

Including travel training in an IEP assures the student will receive appropriate training to meet individual goals. Laketran, in partnership with our schools, can provide a staff member to be present during an IEP to assist in clarifying transit-related goals. This service, as well as the training, is offered at no cost to the school or the student.

For more information about IEP-transit related assistance, please call Julia Schick at 440-350-1012 or email marketing@laketran.com.
