The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), Division of Exceptional Children Services's (DECS) home page targets the successful transition of all students from school to post-school activities - whether postsecondary education, vocational training, integrated employment, continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living or community participation. We also recognize that many other transitions occur over the course of the life of an individual. The page provides access to a variety of resources relating to transition.

Professional Development Resources:

SPP Indicator 13 (Secondary Transition) WebEx trainings were conducted by the Division of Learning Services (DLS) on September 9, 2010, and on September 28, 2010. Participants are reminded of the specific regulatory requirements for Indicator 13, and learn how to develop Individual Education Programs (IEPs) that include the required transition content for each youth. Since the training includes opportunities for participants to practice reviewing the file of a student (age sixteen (16) or older) for compliance with Indicator 13, participants are to have a student file available to review.
