Supercharging Transition with the LifeCourse Framework
Throughout our lives, we face questions and search for answers that will help us on our journey to a
full and meaningful life. This is true for everyone, especially when you or someone you care about
experiences a disability or special healthcare need.
Charting the Life Course is a tool to assist family members, students, and professionals in creating a vision for the future that leads to better outcomes as students transition to adulthood. It is designed to help you think about the questions to ask as well as the choices and options to consider as you “plot a course” to a full and meaningful life. It is intended to be a starting point no matter where you are in your life journey.
Join Craig Knutson, from the Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities, and Tami Allen, from Families Together, Inc., to learn how to incorporate basic LifeCourse Framework principles and tools into the transition planning process. Discover how Families Together, Inc., has incorporated the LifeCourse Framework into their Parent Peer IEP Mentor Project, Family Employment Awareness Training (FEAT), and how the LifeCourse Framework can help transition professionals guide discussions with families about alternatives to guardianship.
