Summary of Performance

When I asked the IEP team about my son’s Summary of Performance, I got the 'deer in the headlights' look – they didn’t even know what it was.

This Summary of Performance should include recommendations about ways to help meet post-secondary goals. It is a separate document from the IEP.

Aging Out of Special Ed

The age when children age out of special education eligibility differs from state to state - the upper age limit varies depending on state law.

Individual states have different rules about this process. Your state special education regulations will tell you what the age is in your state.

Transition to Life After School

See Chapter 9: Transition Checklist, Summary of Performance, p. 86, Wrightslaw: All About IEPs.
