Think Big! Building Meaningful Lives Across the Lifespan
Date: 4/20 | Time: 5 to 6 p.m.
What does a meaningful life look like for an individual with a disability, and what do families and professionals need to know to help support a positive vision for the future? This session will highlight the importance of taking a strengths-based approach to planning for a person's future. Tools and strategies will be shared that help establish a lifespan view to planning based on all the "life domains" and support an individual's ability to be the main decision-maker in their own lives.
Presented by: Sean Roy, TransCen
Understanding the Transition Process and Advocating for your Student
Date: 4/27 | Time: 5 to 6 p.m.
Students with disabilities spend between 15 and 18 years in special education and the end result should be effective preparation for employment, continued education and life in the community. The secondary transition process can be complicated, and many families have questions as they navigate a confusing period in their youth's education. This session will explain the transition process, including how the focus of the IEP changes, and gives families tips for contributing to their student's individual transition plan to maximize the impact of special education.
Presented by: Sean Roy, TransCen and Alyssa DiFilippo, Parents Helping Parents
Work is Possible: Setting a Vision for Employment
