The transition planning process consists of team members. These team members collaborate on the successful implementation of transitioning the target student into adulthood. According to IDEA, the following people are active members when transition planning: the target student, parents, the general education and special education teachers, a district administrator, and the school psychologist (Morningstar and Clavenna-Deane 2018). Emphasis is placed on the student and their family because active involvement of both parties has shown to greatly improve post-school success of students. Family involvement in the transition planning process is beneficial because they can help identify the student's strengths, aspirations for the future, and dislikes. Active family involvement is especially beneficial for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) families as students within these families usually have lower postschool success and oftentimes hold various morals, values, and beliefs that prevent independent transition (Kim and Morningstar 2005). Student involvement is highly critical because one of the primary goals when transition planning and even during the IEP meeting is to promote independence. Student's involved and actively participating in their transition plan promote independence and self-determination. Positive self-determination skills show effective results during transition specifically regarding employment, education/training, and independent living. Since students with disabilities usually are less self determined than their peers without disabilities, it's important for families to begin teaching this skill while their child(ren) is young (Wehmeyer 2017).  It is important to reach out to the parents and make sure they stay involved in the transition process in its entirety in the same manner that students should be actively involved in the IEP and transition process as well. The following artifacts demonstrate mastery of competencies 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4. These artifacts display the post-evaluation of the Quality Indicators Survey on Student Involvement as well as a parent transition survey in both English and Spanish.
