By the first IEP in effect when your child turns 16 (earlier in some states), the IEP must include measurable goals for after high school, based on age appropriate transition assessments, and the services to reach them. Your child must be invited. See Ages 14 to 22 and Employment Atlas for work.

The law: 34 CFR 300.320(b); 300.321(b); 300.305(e)(3)
