Section Two: Person-Centered Planning

Establishing Post-Secondary Goals

In keeping with person-centered planning, Mr. Hunter and the rest of the IEP team must remember that adult life encompasses a range of activities. These activities can be categorized into the major domains listed in the table to the right. The first three—education/ training, employment, and independent living (when appropriate)—are required by IDEA. The remaining domains are helpful for planning for the future, but they are not required for transition planning under IDEA'04. Click here to view a more detailed list of what may be included under each domain. Although every student may not achieve the same level of functioning in all domains, school personnel should help each student consider the extent to which he or she might participate in all areas of adult life.
