January Ask the Expert starts Monday!

[Guest guest]

Monday January 14th through Thursday January 17th

Topic: Transition to Adulthood in Illinois

Guest Expert: Sue Walter, Illinois State Board of Education

Transition Coordinator

Let's give a big IPADD welcome to Sue Walter who'll be joining us

Monday to answer our questions about the process of Transition --

often described by professionals as an 'exciting' time for families

and students -- more often described by families as 'scary' or

like 'falling off the edge of a cliff'!! Hmm, the truth probably

lies somewhere in the middle!

So be thinking of your questions and be ready to post on Monday.

Transition was described as a hot topic by many IPADD members, so

please don't be shy about posting your questions. We all learn from

one another. If you're about to embark on this life phase with your

son or daughter, also be sure to check out IPAD's Transition-related

materials stored in both our Files and Links sections by visiting

our IPADD home page on .

Have a great weekend and look forward to Sue's visit on Monday.

Your moderators,

Laurie, Ellen and Marie
