This online training will address the transition planning and services required for youth with disabilities between the ages of 14-22. The training will focus on both the transition special education services which prepare young people for employment, and independent living and education post high school. Services that students may require when they exit special education and transition to the adult human service system will be discussed.
Through the use of case examples, parents and professionals will learn strategies that can help students receive important transition services mandated by special education laws. Chapter 688, the federal law that helps plan for youth with disabilities after they leave school, will be explained.
