ESE 633 Week 4 Assignment Helping Parents Promote
Independence
In this assignment you will demonstrate your
understanding of the following learning objective:
Justify the collaborative role of transition team
members who actively participate in transition
meetings and examine the steps required in a
transition-planning meeting. The assignment
represents your mastery of the Course Learning
Outcome 5.

2. In this assignment you will consider a hypothetical
transition meeting. To make this meeting more
productive, you have decided to create an informational
brochure or handout that you would want others in the
meeting to understand. For example, as a special
educator, what would you want the general educator to
know about the transition process, or what would you
want the parents to know?
To prepare for this assignment, view the video below
titled Be a Superstar - Take the Survey - Student. This
video interviews high school graduates one year post-
graduation to ask “Where are You Now?” Next, reflect on
how creating a realistic and attainable transition from
high school to post-graduation independence takes
time, planning, and a strong team of professionals and
family who all have the student’s best interest at heart.
The transition meeting can include the school principal
(who may have links to community agencies),
representatives from community agencies, a school
counselor or psychologist (who was involved in
assessments and interest inventories), the special
educator, a general educator (who may have a role in
the student’s education), the parents, and the student. In
addition, parents can invite anyone else they believe
will add value to their child’s independence (Levinson &
Palmer, 2005).
