Program Description
Event Details
This presentation aims to give high school students and their parents a basic overview of the transition process from high school to post-secondary education. It is from my previous experience working as the Director of a disability support program that many students with disabilities come to college unprepared for the challenges - both academic and social-emotional. My goal is to help start this conversation for some or continue to reinforce essential talking points for preparation for others.
By the end of my presentation, parents and their children will have more information and the motivation to continue communicating with relevant educational staff for college preparation.
Registration is recommended.
