For some students with disabilities, getting ready for life after high school takes planning and the involvement of the student, their families, and educators. This webinar will outline the key concepts of transition planning and provide resources on how to involve youth in the process. Participants will be provided training on how to write measurable transition goals that are designed with the student’s choices in mind for further education, employment, and independent living.
Presenters:
- Joey Ellis, TNSTEP Family & Youth Educator & Mentor | Post-Secondary Transition Specialist
- Ned Andrew Solomon, TNSTEP Communications Support | Youth Transition to Adulthood Specialist
- Karen Harrison, TNSTEP Executive Director
This initiative is a collaboration between TNSTEP and PEATC (Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center).
