Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hello Everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I have a 14 year old daughter and we're starting transition planning or at least I am for her. Anyone have any good resources so I can learn this? I've been going to Google U. and am getting overwhelmed. Thanks, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 We did NOT get enough off campus job transitioning done with Maverick. Providing a job coach was not a priority. We had set up his IEP for what we THOUGHT was going to be his last year of HS to be focusing strongly on job training. Unfortunately, the staff that we felt worked well with Mav quit, retired or moved to another school and we ended up pulling Mav out instead of trying to work with a whole new team for just one year. THAT meant that Mav started his work career early. He did not do well and is now in a transitional program that will give him a year or so to get up to speed. I really felt bad that we were saying.. Ok..you are out of school, you are an adult, the rest of your life is work work work.. when he was emotionally like a young teen. I am liking the buffer time between now and when we will get serious about work. That being said.. I would push for more on the job training type stuff if I were you.
