When it comes to planning for life after high school, it is important to think about working, learning, and living in our communities. These topics all play a part in the various paths a person may choose to take in pursuing their independent living goals.
As children with disabilities grow, moving from pediatric to adult healthcare can be challenging and requires a lot of planning. This session is designed to support parents and caregivers of medically fragile children and adults with developmental delays in navigating this critical transition. In 2003, Blessing Udo, PhD, RN, became a mother to twin girls. One of them was medically fragile. Her journey through months in the NICU, multiple hospital stays, and the emotional toll of caring for a fragile child led her to create a pediatric home care agency built on compassion and quality. Now, she brings her experience and insight to help other families navigate the road ahead.
What you’ll learn:
When and how to start planning for the transition
How to involve your child and build independence
What changes to expect in care models and providers
Building a strong, coordinated care team
Transitioning from high school to adulthood can be a complex journey for students with disabilities, often requiring extra planning and support. While it may feel overwhelming at times, this journey can be incredibly rewarding as goals are reached and dreams are realized.

The purpose of the Family Guide to Transition Planning—Preparing Students with Disabilities for Life After High School is to assist families in understanding the transition planning process specifically from high school to life after high school. When families are knowledgeable about the transition process and invited to participate by Educational Organizations (EOs), students with disabilities experience improved post-school outcomes in the areas of employment, postsecondary education, and independent living. Presented by the Mid-West Family & Community Engagement Center.
In this presentation, we will discuss an overview of the components involved in the transition to adulthood, what to focus on based on the age of your child, and how to develop an Action Plan for your child’s transition to adulthood.
This workshop will help parents and students to prepare for the future. Beginning at age 14, students and schools must begin the journey in planning for life after high school. Learn how to write an Individualized Transition Plan (ITP) and how to include your child in this important process. This workshop will include information and strategies for students preparing to work after high school and students going on to college or other educational settings.

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.
