About the event

Planning a Life (PAL) is a two-day transition conference geared towards parents of and professionals working with post-secondary transition age youth (14 -22).  PAL can help provide parents and professionals with skills and information necessary to support youth as they prepare for full, productive lives during and after high school. We will discuss how to begin the transition planning process and how to determine transition goals on the IEP.  We will discuss ways parents and caregivers can encourage independence and self-advocacy in their children.

During this PAL, we will talk about the differences between high school and college and how to prepare for success in college.  We will discuss making the choice to disclose disability.  Easterseals’ College Navigator and Assistive Technology will present about their services. Youth are encouraged to attend for separate activities on preparing for college and a fun drum circle!
