We look forward to welcoming Elizabeth Danner, State Transition Coordinator with the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Elizabeth will present “Transition Updates from TEA” and introduce us to their new resource, the Next Steps to Independence Checklist. She'll show us how families, educators, and others can use the tool to help youth develop skills to maximize autonomy in adulthood. The tool highlights critical developmental milestones organized by age: birth-age 3, age 3-5, elementary school, middle school, high school, and age 18-22.
Please bring your questions and feel free to share this announcement with others who may be interested!
