• Person-Centered Planning

• Diploma Options

  
  Beginning at age 14, a student’s diploma options will be included in the Individual Education Plan (IEP), and reviewed annually. There are several diploma options available in the state of Florida. These are reviewed in this course. The diploma option chosen has a great impact on the student’s transition and should be planned well.
