Step 10: Postsecondary Goal
Independent Living
Test District
Step 10: Question 13 Learn More
Independent Living Goals
What are your strategies or
guidelines for determining if
an independent living goal
is needed?
Things to Think About
1. Are the student's goals for independent living the same as nondisabled peers?
2. Does the student require more intervention than a non-disabled
peer would to prepare for those independent living goals?
If yes, a measurable postsecondary goal is necessary, along with
transition services in this area.
If no, a measurable postsecondary goal for independent living is not
necessary.
It is the IEP team’s decision to include a measurable postsecondary
goal for independent living.
Step 11: Independent Living Goal
Test District
Examples of Independent Living
Goals
Compliance Example:
