For some students with disabilities, getting ready for life after high school takes planning and the involvement of the student, their families, and educators. This webinar will outline the key concepts of transition planning and provide resources on how to involve youth in the process. Participants will be provided training on how to write measurable transition goals that are designed with the students choices in mind for further education, employment, and independent living.
