The post secondary transition is entire purpose of IDEA and a extremely overlooked portion of an IEP! This is a must attend for any parent of a student with an IEP!
Parenting U is right around the corner — a full-day, high-impact conference created just for parents of adolescents.
One of our brilliant speakers, Kathryn Stewart, Founder and Executive Director of Orion Academy, will guide parents through transition planning: how to plan realistically (not just aspirationally), how to support healthy risk-taking and growth, and how to help students build the skills and resilience they’ll need long after school supports end.
With only 100 seats available for this highly anticipated Bay Area conference, we expect to sell out.
Register by February 28 to secure your spot.
