Location: Park Elementary School, Ossining, New York
Presenter: Stephanie Bellantoni and Lulu Bencosme (bilingual), Outreach Coordinators, HVSEPC
This is an important presentation for parents of children of all ages. It is never too soon to think about transition to life after high school, since the decisions we make and the educational programs to which our children are exposed pave the way for their opportunities following the K-12 years. The presentation will address the expanding high school credential and exiting options for students with disabilities. Then the discussion will move chronologically from age 12 when the Level 1 Career Assessment is conducted, to 7th and 8th grade during which that Career Assessment is incorporated into the IEP, and finally into the high school years when the IEP grows significantly in terms of various sections addressing transition needs and services. The discussion will include post-secondary measurable goals, high school transition service needs, and the coordinated set of transition activities. Click here for event flyer and registration.
