Parent Workshop: Strategies and Tips for Parents for Preparing for Transition and Employment

The thought of their child “aging out” of school services is the “elephant in the room” that worries many parents of children with disabilities. As the saying goes, “the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.” Sara will share strategies to take “little bites” over many years to enable your student to be prepared for that day when the educational chapter of your child’s life is completed. Join us with Sara Barron, Co-Founder of Ventures ATL.
