The Arc Webinar: The Intersection of Future Planning and Special Education Transition Planning

Planning for a secure and fulfilling future is a crucial process for people with disabilities and their families. While creating a future plan may seem inaccessible or challenging for families, it is possible and necessary to create a person-centered plan that documents the wants, needs, and available resources for an individual with a disability.

The post-secondary school transition process serves as a great example of a necessary student-centered future planning process.

Join this webinar to learn about:

How special education transition planning fits into the broader idea of future planning
Approaches for effective transition planning for students with an individualized education program (IEP)
Considerations for families, educators, and support professionals as they collaborate with the student during the transition planning process

Access Note: This webinar will be captioned. The recording will be available to view on demand for those who register.
