SAVE Referral Process

SAVE Procedures for IEP Teams

Identification of a potential SAVE candidate should take place, at a minimum, during the junior year. The transition discussion should begin as early as age 14. Referral to the SAVE program is a team decision and not an individual recommendation. 

IEP Procedures

Transition needs are identified by the IEP team and reflected on the IEP. 

The IEP should include the following information:

• Vocational Rehabilitation information
• ACCUPLACER or ACT scores
• Transition goals/needs
• Health issues, if applicable
• Behavior issues, if applicable
• Post-secondary expectations for living
• Post-secondary expectations for learning
• Post-secondary expectations for working 
• SAVE program has been identified as a 4+ service that may meet with student’s unmet transition needs.
