This training will focus on facilitating successful movement from school to post- secondary activities (e.g., integrated employment if applicable, independent living and community participation) for students with moderate to severe disabilities. Movement to postsecondary activities is guided by the student’s strengths, preferences, and interests. Critical to the success of this process is: 1) determining students’ developmental profile, 2) translating students’ developmental profile into postsecondary activities and goals, and 3) lining up postsecondary activities and goals with Indicator 13 and evidence-based Transition practices and predictors for success. Case studies and visual supports will be used to demonstrate application of practices.
