POSTSECONDARY GOALS
1: A postsecondary goal
is “generally understood to refer to those goals that a child hopes to achieve after
leaving secondary school (i.e., high school)” (IDEA 2004 Part B Regulations, §300.320(b),
discussion of Final Rule p. 46,668)
A postsecondary goal is not the process of pursuing or moving toward a desired outcome.
