Investigation of Health Care Components in Transition IEPs
Repetto, Jeanne B.; Jaress, Jennifer; Lindsey, Jenna; Bae, Jungah
Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, v39 n1 p4-11 Feb 2016
The purpose of this study was to assess the inclusion of health care components in transition Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students diagnosed with Other Health Impaired (OHI). In this study, we analyzed 50 IEPs of students with an OHI diagnosis to establish whether there are health-related components or other common health care themes. Our data indicated that even though IEP team members noted detailed health concerns on the IEPs, it is unclear whether they considered these concerns in planning for postsecondary outcomes. Data from this study support a disconnect between knowing health concerns are present and needing to be addressed but not taking them into account in transition planning.
