The PEAL Center is proud to
partner with PaTTAN; Parent Education Network (PEN); the PaTTAN Parent
Consultants; Hispanos Unidos para Ninos Excepcionales (HUNE); and The Mentor
Parent Project, Inc. to present a three-part series on Transition. Join the
trainings (session 1 & 2) by webinar and or phone conference call. Session 3
will be a videoconference at multiple sites.
Session 1 - You Can't Move Forward Until You Move
Backwards The Transition process focuses on preparing you and your
son/daughter for life after school. It is never too early to start this
process. Join with other families to learn why transition involves everyone.
Begin now to plan for a successful, fulfilling future at home, school and in the
community.
Session 2 - It's a
Brave New World: An Introduction to Secondary Transition
How do I make sure my son/daughter’s IEP, beginning at
age 14, is a road map to a successful and fulfilling future at home, school, and
in the community? Learn how transition goals drive all the sections of the IEP
and determine what your child is doing in school. We will review sample IEPs
and resources during this session.
Session 3 - The GPS of Secondary Transition
Using the
Secondary Transition Road Map, we will help you take a closer look at building a
strong IEP. Topics covered will include assessment, post school goals, academic
achievement and functional performance, agency involvement, writing measurable
goals and measuring success. This workshop will include parent-oriented
activities and discussions.
