Post-Secondary Goals and Self-Advocacy This is an instructional project that includes measurable postsecondary goals that are required for all students that have verified disabilities. It was mandated through the IDEA reenactment of 2004, that transition planning begins by the age of 16. The transition services for students with learning disabilities will have a focus on helping the students gain a standard diploma, self-advocacy, post-secondary goals, and detailed plan so that when transitioning into adulthood and life after high school they will be more adapt to be accepted into a program or workplace that will meet each student’s needs. In this instructional project essential components of the post-secondary goals will be elaborated on. Training and education, employment, IEP team based decision, independent living skills, study and social skills are included in this plan. Each category is essential in helping a student with learning disabilities become self-advocates for their own postsecondary goals. (Barlett, Marilyn. (n.d)
