When is it appropriate to address transition services for a student younger than age 14 or 16?
The TIEP team determines when a statement of transition service needs that focuses on courses of study (age 14) or a statement of needed transition services (age 16) must be considered for younger students. Factors to consider include whether the student is at risk of dropping out of school and whether the student’s transition services needs are so significant that agency services may be needed at a younger age.
