According to Questions and Answers on Secondary Transition, 52 IDELR 230 (June 1, 2009), the purpose of the SOP is to provide the child with a summary of the child's academic achievement and functional performance in order to assist the child to transition beyond high school. The SOP must include recommendations on how to assist the child in meeting his or her postsecondary goals. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act does not otherwise specify the information that must be incuded in the SOP; rather, state and local officials have the flexibility to determine the appropriate content to be included in a child's SOP, based on the child's individual needs and postsecondary goals.
