 * == PA Community on Transition-Post School Assistive Technology Planning through the Transition Process == ||
 * Event Type: || Videoconferences ||
 * Event Location: || Pattan – King of Prussia ||
 * Event Date: || 10/28/2008 ||
 * Time: 9am to 3pm ||
 * Description: ||
 * Transitioning from school to post secondary education and training, employment, and independent living environments presents unique challenges to students with disabilities and their assistive technology (AT) teams. Traditionally, AT assessment and implementation has concentrated on what a student needs to be successful in K-12 school settings. As part of the transition process, the school-based AT team should also explore and plan for what a student will need to be successful immediately after they leave high school. This session will address issues concerning effective IEP transition planning, the differences between the acquisition and training of AT while in school versus post school environments, the role of self-advocacy and available resources to assist IEP and AT teams develop plans that will promote the successful transition of students in pursuit of their post school goals. ||
