Abstract
The transition support system in Japanese special high schools for students with intellectual disabilities consists of two parts: career guidance and post-school assistance. Individualized transition support plans were introduced in Tokyo in 2001 in order to promote students' vocational independence and collaboration among schools, families, and local agencies. Tokyo's individualized transition support plans propose 2 separate fixed forms: individualized transition support plan (1) for career guidance and the individualized transition support plan (2) for post-school assistance. Some characteristics of the Japanese transition support system, including individualized transition support plans, are commonly found in the traditional individualized transition plans (ITP) process in the United States, such as the teacher-directed tendency. There seems to be nothing in common between the Japanese system and the person-centered ITP process in the United States.
