Never Too Early to Start Preparing for Transition to Adulthood

Though it isn’t necessary to develop an actual transition plan and provide “services” for youth with disabilities in elementary school, self-determination and self-advocacy skills can be developed from a very early age. If you have a little one – or a “big” little one in elementary school – please consider joining us.

Preparing for transition to adulthood can include teaching self-advocacy skills early and often, promoting high expectations and career awareness for our children, and educating ourselves as to how to encourage our children to become confident learners – knowing how to ask for help when they need it.

Please join Robynn Gualtiere, San Jacinto Unified School District Transition Specialist, and WorkAbility 1 State Advisory Alternate Chair, will discuss:

• Brief history of IDEA’s (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) transition services
• Parent involvement in the transition process – starting from an early age
• Importance of teaching self-advocacy skills to our children and encouraging their participation in their IEP meetings
• How to promote career awareness and high expectations for our children

This webinar will provide live Spanish interpretation.

This is a Connections California event. Connections California is a project of Parents Helping Parents – Silicon Valley.
