Register today for our next webinar being held on Thursday, February 27, with special guest speaker Kenneth A. Anderson, MS Ed., CRC. This workshop is intended to assist families in understanding the transition planning process from school to life after high school. When families are knowledgeable about the transition process students with disabilities experience improved post-school outcomes in the areas of employment, postsecondary education, and independent living.
