Planning for Life After High School
This training offers guidance to families and people with disabilities on how to design a successful transition process for students moving from high school to adulthood. We focus on employment, recreational activities, friendships, communication, continuing education, transportation and rights and responsibilities, among other topics.
We use personal stories of successful and unsuccessful transitions to illustrate the steps necessary for an effective, productive transition to adult life. We describe the roles of the Social Security Administration, Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, the Office of Developmental Programs, and the Housing Authority in providing resources and support. Throughout the presentation, we emphasize the importance of developing a vision and using person-centered planning along with an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and an Individual Support Plan (ISP).
