Voices of Experience: Family Stories and Essential Resources for Transitioning Students with Disabilities

In this impactful webinar sponsored by NTACT:C and the RAISE Center, families of students with disabilities and other stakeholders, including professionals from education and vocational rehabilitation, will hear directly from others who have navigated the transition from high school to adult life. Personal stories from parents and caregivers will provide valuable insights into the challenges, triumphs, and practical strategies they’ve used along the way.

Additionally, the session will highlight key resources, tools, and support networks offered by Parent and Training Information Centers (PTIs) across the country. These centers play a critical role in providing families with the information and guidance they need to access services, plan for the future, and advocate for their child’s success. Join us for this empowering session, where real-life experiences meet expert advice to help guide families through the transition journey.

 

Training Objectives:

  • Provide families and professionals with actionable strategies and insights to begin transition planning early, engage in community-based activities, and support students in building readiness for adulthood.
  • Guide educators, and vocational rehabilitation professionals in understanding how to best foster collaboration with families to ensure engagement and to streamline the transition process.
  • Educate families and professionals on the transition planning process, including IEPs, vocational rehabilitation services, post-secondary goals, and the rights of students with disabilities and their families.
  • Promote the importance of person-centered planning and supported decision-making to help families and professionals advocate for tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each student.
