“…The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a formalized process that requires each student's transition team, including professionals, parents, and the student, to participate in articulating what goals and skills students are to work on in the coming year and progress toward postsecondary goals (Test, Fowler, White, Richter, & Walker, 2009). Transition planning for individuals who are DHH can be fraught with challenges, both logistically in providing full access for all members of the team (including the student and parents) and also in terms of identifying postschool opportunities that will allow the individual to realize his or her full potential (Luft, 2012). A potentially problematic area for students who are DHH in particular is that of interpreting; transition teams may not be familiar with working with an educational interpreter, or interpreters may not be qualified to provide high level of services needed for IEP team meetings (Schick, Williams, & Kupermintz, 2006).…”
