Understanding one of the major purposes of a student's individual education program (IEP), the postsecondary transition planning section, is key for preservice teachers. Though federal guidelines mandate the transition plan to start by age 16, many states require the development of the plan much earlier. The author believes that for some students, the transition plan is completed too late to have full effect. The chapter will give the preservice teacher the knowledge needed to understand the component of the transition plan and offer some resources and suggestions for assessments to develop the transition plan.

This study examined associations between chores engagement, self-management, and transition readiness in youth with chronic conditions. Youths with various chronic conditions attending a therapeutic camp, and their parents participated. Responses of 165 campers and their parents were analyzed (mean camper age 12.3 ± 2.6 years, 47.9% males, 79.4% White). The most common diagnoses were diabetes, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, and sickle cell anemia. Youth who completed chores manifested higher overall health care transition readiness ([Formula: see text] = 5.17, p = .026) and better communication with providers ([Formula: see text] = 2.98, p = .006) than youth who completed no chores. Higher chores frequency was not more predictive of higher health care transition readiness scores above and beyond the effects of having chores at all. These results suggest that responsible health care behaviors are related to similar actions in other areas of life. Assignment of chores may promote self-management and health care transition readiness in youth with chronic conditions.
