Indicator 13 Tools and Resources
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was reauthorized on December 3, 2004 and its provisions became effective on July 1, 2005. In conjunction with the reauthorization, the U. S. Department of Education through the Office of Special Education Programs required states to develop a six-year State Performance Plan in December of 2005 around 20 indicators, on which data will be submitted annually (beginning February 2007) in Annual Performance Reports.
The 13th Indicator of the State Performance Plan relates to transition services for students: “Percent of youth aged 16 and above with an individualized education program (IEP) that includes coordinated, measurable, annual IEP goals and transition services that will reasonably enable the student to meet the post-secondary goals.”
