We would like to invite you to join us for our upcoming webinar “Successful Transition for Students with Special Needs: What Resources are Available to You” on March 29, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern.
About This Webinar
Research has shown that all students and especially those receiving special education who follow a carefully crafted transition plan are more likely to achieve post-secondary success. Helping professionals can craft these plans, but many may not be aware of the various resources available to ensure students’ successful transition.
Additionally, educators are required by law to create a transition plan for students receiving special education by the age of 16; but, it is best practice to begin as early as middle school.
What are the available resources?
How can helping professionals ensure that all students succeed in reaching their transition goals?
We will answer these questions and more on March 29th at 11:00 a.m. Eastern!
