Everything your loved one does in the coming months and years offers opportunities to build skills that lead to greater independence, social connections and employment. The following chart, adapted from the Kitsap County Transition Council’s Nine Critical Areas of Focus for IEPs, and Skills for Successful Employment and Independence in the Community, illustrates key skills important for every child to develop.
Make note of where your child is on the chart and consider each of these skill areas when shaping goals for their Individual Education Program (IEP). And be sure to reinforce development in these areas at home and in the community.
