In this webcast, we will examine how to assist students with significant support needs in connecting or maintaining connections to employment-related services when exiting high school. This meeting uses a person-centered approach that helps the student connect to services that fit their employment goals. The presenters will review how to use an “Exit Meeting Tool” to provide structure for a team supporting the student. This tool reviews students’ interests, needs, and goals related to employment and services that can support the student after high school. We will also review tips and resources for parents as their students exit high school.
Relationships in special education and early intervention can be stormy and may be damaged beyond repair when three indicators of dysfunction dictate the conversation and the direction — Mistrust, Blame, and Shame. When someone feels they aren't safe with another, or the other is to blame, or they have let themselves down, we create the fuel for "Hurt People to Hurt People." From the first family contact through all of our dispute resolution processes, tools for Building Trust, Breaking Blame, and Healing Shame ease the fear, anxiety, and hurt, and allow us to build stronger partnerships to benefit everyone. This webinar focuses on conflict coaching conversations anyone can use to achieve these goals.
