Families need to be involved in the IEP process as well as being able to identify their child's needs and desires for the future. It is important to reach out to the parents and make sure they stay involved but the student's should be actively involved in the IEP and transition process as well.  A perfect example is to identify available supports and accommodating systems to assist that student with their goals. Parent involvement is highly critical in the transition planning process because they want the best for their child. According to Bluestein et al., (2016), "A large proportion of parents placed considerable importance on part- or full-time employment in the community for their daughter or son in the early years after leaving high school." In order to receive more in-depth information from the parents, they should be actively involved especially CLD families as expectations may differ with culturally diverse families (Kim and Morningstar 2005). Notifying parent's of these supports and creating a positive form of open communication will help adjust and thus promote family involvement in the transition process. Being reachable by phone, email, and hosting in-person appointments are a great way to help provide open communication. Also, the idea of hosting a transition fair shows how involved and knowledgeable the staff is in the transition process. They understand that incorporating the parents is a necessity so what better way to promote involvement than a transition fair?
