Turning 14
An Introduction to the Transition Planning Process; A Workshop for Parents and Professionals
In Massachusetts Transition planning must begin at age 14 and continue throughout the high school years as students prepare to journey into a full and inclusive adult life. Coordinated and continuous transition preparation promotes better post school outcomes for students with disabilities.
This introductory Transition workshop will address:
. Development of self-advocacy and self-determination skills to support the student's vision.
. How Transition Assessments identify students' strengths and interests as well as areas of academic and functional skill development needed to support Transition goals.
. How the Transition Planning Form guides the conversation to develop Transition goals which lead to meaningful opportunities in education, training, employment and independent living.
