IDEA 2004’s Indicator 13 Measures Transition Process
Districts need to report to OSDE
NSTTAC’s I-13 Checklist will be used in focus monitoring
Aligns with Oklahoma’s new IEP format
Oklahoma’s New IEP Forms Meets IDEA 2004 requirements Changes transition age to at least 14 Changes focus from a deficit to a
preference-driven special education process– No longer an elementary model applied to
secondary sped– Secondary sped has own unique duties
and roles
