Transition Training Of A Guest from Massachusetts Advocates for Children

This workshop will address the transition planning and services required for youth with disabilities ages 14-22 training and will focus on the transition special education services needed to prepare youth for employment, independent living, and further education. This training will also address compensatory services during COVID-19 to address transition needs and how to ensure districts fully address your child’s transition needs during the recovery. Using case examples, parents and professionals will learn strategies that can help students receive important transition services required by special education laws, preparing youth to live, learn, and work in the community when they exit special education. The workshop will also provide information about the transition to the adult human service system, including Chapter 688, the state law that helps plan for youth with disabilities after they leave school.

This event is free and open to the public.
