Secondary Transition Planning for  Students with Disabilities in Illinois

Help your child find their voice—and use it with confidence. This powerful closing session is designed to equip families with practical strategies to nurture self-advocacy skills in children with disabilities. Learn how to support your child in understanding their strengths and needs, communicating effectively, and becoming an active participant in their education. We’ll explore age-appropriate ways to build these skills over time, including how to encourage student involvement in IEP meetings and decision-making. Walk away with tools to foster independence while still providing the guidance and support your child needs to succeed.
