Why Attend?
Transition planning can make or break a student's post-secondary success, yet many IEP teams struggle to create truly effective roadmaps. This webinar cuts through the confusion with practical, research-backed strategies for building transition plans that actually work for students with intellectual disabilities, autism, and other developmental disabilities. Dr. Gilley will walk you through the critical components of coordinated transition planning, from early IEP development through graduation and beyond, showing you how student-centered approaches lead to meaningful outcomes in employment, independent living, and community participation.
In this session, participants will learn:
- Essential transition planning components that transform generic IEPs into actionable post-secondary roadmaps
- Evidence-based strategies for coordinating services across schools, families, and community agencies
- Student-centered planning techniques that elevate student voice and self-determination in the transition process
- Practical tools and frameworks for assessing transition readiness and tracking progress toward post-secondary goals
- Real-world solutions to common barriers in transition planning, including limited resources and fragmented service systems
- Implementation guidance for creating sustainable transition programs that support long-term student success
