Autism and Life Transitions: Hard Lessons Learned & Taught as a Person-Center...Cheryl Ryan Chan
In December of 2015, I presented this webinar to members of the National Association for Dual Diagnoses (thenadd.org). I've been conducting Person-Centered Plans for 4 years, and over that time I've seen a number of disturbing trends around the lack of understanding and planning for preparedness in transitioning students; in particular, in the areas of independent skill building specific to the anticipated environment, and personal safety skills. I feel it's important to talk about what I've observed and how my team of co-facilitators and I have identified and tackled these issues within the PCP process. I hope that the "lessons learned" will assist people in planning for IEP/ISP goals that can help maximize success. I offer it free to anyone who would like to attend.
