Description of CE Program/Activity
 Instructor: Tara Mason, Ph.D. Transition at any stage of K-12 and into the adult world can present intense challenges for all young people. This is especially true for young people who are blind, visually impaired and/or multiply impaired. This course addresses creating a smooth transition process and successfully preparing a young person for the world of work and/or post-secondary education. The course emphasizes independence-focused, student-centered planning at each stage and provides resources around assessment, curriculum, instruction, legal and eligibility questions, and long term planning. This course provides a road map with ample resources so TVIs and related service members are prepared for any transition planning from EC through adult services.
