Secondary Transition for DC Youth
The Parent Session is just for parents and caregivers of students with disabilities! Learn how to prepare for life after school and how to support your student to successfully transition into employment, education, and independence. There will be an opening session, lunch and six breakout sessions to give parents resources and guidance; and most importantly you will have time to meet other parents and connect with local resources.
