AI in Secondary Transition Planning
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being integrated into education and secondary transition planning. According to The Center for Instruction, Design, and Digital Learning (CIDDL), AI can serve as a supportive tool for:
a) Career Exploration – generating lists of potential career paths based on student interests and strengths.
b) Interview Preparation – practicing common questions, role-playing scenarios, or creating visual supports for communication.
c) Self-Determination and Self-Advocacy – drafting scripts or talking points students can use in IEP meetings, job interviews, or with community partners.
d) Study and Organization – providing reminders, outlines, and task breakdowns for executive functioning support.
e) Postsecondary Goal Development – helping students and teams brainstorm, draft, or refine measurable postsecondary goals related to education, employment, and independent living in language that is clear and student-centered.
f) Workplace Readiness – simulating workplace scenarios (e.g., responding to supervisor feedback, problem-solving at work) or generating practice tasks that mirror real job demands.
g) Independent Living Skills – creating checklists, meal plans, budgeting prompts, or visual schedules that promote daily living independence.
