  • Post School Outcomes

    What happens after students with disabilities leave high school? Join us for a webinar designed to help families understand the transition to adulthood and how schools and families can work together to support a successful future.
    During this session, we’ll explore post-school outcomes like employment, continuing education, and independent living, and why this information is important for improving transition services. We’ll also break down Georgia’s Indicator 14 survey, what it tells us about students’ experiences after graduation, and how schools use this data to strengthen transition planning.
    Families will leave with practical ideas for supporting their student’s goals, building strong partnerships with schools, and connecting with community resources early so students are better prepared for life after high school.

  • From High School to Life: Designing Transition IEPs That Reflect Real Futures

    What if the last day of high school looked more like the life a student wants to live next? This 60-minute webinar, hosted by the RAISE Center in collaboration with Think College and NTACT:C, explores how transition-focused IEPs can be designed to support meaningful post-school outcomes.

    Presenters will highlight strategies for aligning IEP goals, services, and planning with real-world experiences—such as employment, education, community engagement, and independent living—so that transition planning truly prepares students for life beyond graduation.
