Self-Advocacy & Future Planning

To all students, parents & supporters of Special Education: This website is really an interesting site to be used foremost by students. They can read and gather plans that will assist them in planning for their future. There are steps that allow the student to chart a beginning in their future plan. Many times it is difficult for students to help planning their future,especially if there is not a significant other guiding them. This site then allows the individual to make a start through self- evaluation.

  1. Patricia,
    Thank you for this link. I think this website is a great tool to provide to individuals with disabilities, their families, and mentors. What a great way to deliver information by beginning with their grade! Priorities and preferences are different at every age and we need to be mindful of this. Transition happens all throughout life, there can not be one general idea and goal set we need to revisit these and fine tune them as the student matures and changes.
    Thanks :) Amanda Ganyo
