17 Short Videos on Transition IEPs
These videos are part of the Transition IEP Tool, our multimedia training and reference section about the transition IEP process.
In 2010 Dr. Ed O’Leary and Dr. Steve Bigaj recorded 17 short interviews on many elements of the transition-driven IEP process and Indicator 13 IEP requirements. Although over a decade old now, they still provide clear, high-level overviews that capture the essence of good transition planning. The videos also appear on the individual Transition IEP Requirements pages.
