Effective transition plans contain many “ingredients” – from backward planning, to activities of daily living, to work experiences. Each transition plan should achieve the outcome-focused, individualized goals set for that student. During this edWebinar, viewers will learn how to combine essential ingredients to create and implement successful and customized transition plans for their students. Viewers will leave this recorded edWebinar with ideas, resources, tools, and answers to their questions.

This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to middle through high school teachers, school and district leaders, and transition coordinators, specialists, and facilitators.

For additional information, please consider watching Julie’s previous edWebinars on transition planning: “Navigating the Transition into Adult Services,” “Transition Planning for Individuals with Autism,” and “Creating & Implementing Effective Transition Plans for Adolescents with Autism.”
