Education Professionals play a crucial role in preparing students and their families in identifying and reaching their personal and professional goals once they leave the school setting. Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities have a variety of choices available to them once they leave school to assist them in achieving these goals.
This presentation will provide attendees with a better understanding of opportunities available to students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities post-graduation and how professionals can use the transition process to identify and creatively implement educational goals to serve as a catalyst for students in achieving their vocational, higher educational and personal goals and objectives.
