Individual Transition Plans
This section of the North Region SELPA website houses materials and resources to assist students through the recommended California transition state standards. The materials on this site are organized according to grade level with additional specialized materials for students with more significant needs.
Access age-appropriate assessments, materials to support students' preparation to achieve postsecondary goals, and parent/student resources through the links on the right side of this page. The materials are summarized on the one-page "ITP Standards and Resources Grade Level Grid" (in the Teacher Resources link).
