Part B SPP/APR Indicator 13
Percent Of Youth With IEPs Aged 16 And Above With An IEP That Includes Appropriate Measurable Postsecondary Goals
About Part B Indicator 13
Part B Indicator 13 requires states to report the percent of youth with IEPs aged 16 and above with an IEP that includes appropriate measurable postsecondary goals that are annually updated and based upon an age-appropriate transition assessment, transition services, including courses of study, that will reasonably enable the student to meet those postsecondary goals, and annual IEP goals related to the student’s transition services needs. If a state’s policies and procedures provide that public agencies must meet these requirements at an age younger than 16, the state may, but is not required to, choose to include youth beginning at that younger age in its data for this indicator.
Additionally, Part B Indicator 13 requires evidence that the student was invited to the IEP Team meeting where transition services are to be discussed and evidence that, if appropriate, a representative of any participating agency that is likely to be responsible for providing or paying for transition services, including, if appropriate, pre-employment transition services, was invited to the IEP Team meeting with the prior consent of the parent or student who has reached the age of majority.
To report these data, states must use data from state monitoring or the state’s data system. States are required to set their annual targets to 100%.
