Super Transition Week - K12 and Beyond
It’s never too early or too late to start planning for a successful transition from school to life as a young adult.
Ensuring postsecondary success of our students with disabilities is dependent on effective transition planning. Please join CTS and other support service personnel for a week of transition focused workshops, February 22 - February 25, 2021.
Sessions each night will cover a range of transition topics: CTS programming and services for students with disabilities, short- and long-term postsecondary supports, employment and postsecondary education considerations, Supported Decision Making, and student self-determination as an evidence-based predictor of post-school success.
This event also includes two evenings of student/parent panels where members describe their firsthand experiences as they navigated Fairfax County Public Schools and the transition process.
Please see attached flyer for more information.
