Abstract
The present study attempted to find out the effect of teachers’ training on developing transition planning among individuals with intellectual disability (IID) with respect to gender and age. Individuals with intellectual disability (N=50) were intervened by the trained special educators. Single group pre and post test design has been used. Vocational Assessment and Programming System (VAPS) developed by Thressiakutty (1998) has been used in the present study. The data collected was analyzed using the statistical techniques such as t-test, ANCOVA and Post Hoc (LSD) Tukey test. The results show that the training has a remarkable impact on the development of transition planning among individuals with intellectual disability.
