Hi Everyone,

The answer is both.

The information presented always follows the 8-module curriculum which is “NEXT

STEPS.” The topics are similar each year (i.e., Planning for: Employment

Services, Education Services, Adult Services, Transportation, Living in the

Community, etc.) because the focus of NEXT STEPS is always on Transition.

However, each year the NEXT STEPS Training Team modifies the curriculum’s topics

from previous years to inform attendees about new information and/or changes, or

adds to them. A new topic, Mental Health Services, has been added this year.

Additionally, there are speakers this year who are different from previous years

and who give their own perspectives on the topics.
