Guiding Educators to Access Community Supports for Families and Students with Autism and Complex Learning Needs

This event is part of a training series.  Please do not register for this event if you are not planning to attend the full series.

Join Kansas educators and related service providers working individually or in transition teams to collaborate and demonstrate understanding and implementation of transition services that support postsecondary outcomes. Participants will learn how to identify, explore and access community supports and, with a student in mind, will create an implementation plan that links student education, family engagement and community supports. Teachers, transition specialists and coordinators, administrators, parents, related service providers, and paraprofessional staff are encouraged to attend.
