Involving parents/carers

Parents/carers play a vital role in their child’s transition planning process. Particularly for young people with more complex needs, parental involvement is crucial. Research indicates that more positive post-school outcomes are achieved for young people with a disability when their parents/carers are actively involved in the transition planning process.

Together with their child, parents/carers are key members of the transition planning team.
