TRANSITION PLANNING & FUTURE READINESS

Helping Families Prepare for What Comes Next

As children grow, educational planning extends beyond the classroom. Transition planning is about helping students develop meaningful pathways toward adulthood, including postsecondary education, employment, independent living, and community engagement.As a doctoral candidate in Special Education, my research focuses on the experiences of families navigating the transition process for students with intellectual disabilities. I am passionate about helping families understand available options, explore opportunities, and create a roadmap that supports their child's long-term success and independence.
