Our choice of language frames how we think about others. It is time to respect and value people with intellectual disabilities.

It is time to accept and welcome us as your friends and neighbors.

From the moment a student walks through the school door for the first time, most people are already thinking about what that student will do the day they graduate. For students who have challenges in their learning styles, social skills, and behavior management, the transition from the school setting to adult life must be well planned.

This presentation for parents addresses the steps to developing a successful Individual Education Program for students with disabilities who are of transition age (14+). Topics will include how to develop a future plan, courses of study in high school, and what is involved in writing goals for post-high school experiences. The outcome is to increase a student’s opportunities for successful transition from the school setting to adult life.
