Letting Go: Time to Land the Helicopter

August 2nd 2011 8:00pm

The TILES project of Family Network on Disabilities hosted Mark Keith from Outreach Services for the Blind and the Deaf. "Letting Go: Time to Land the Helicopter" is a workshop designed for parents to help their teens with disabilities become successful young adults post high school. All parents experience roadblocks when “cutting the apron strings” from raising a child to now parenting a young adult. Specifically letting go after a lifetime of caring for your special needs child is even more difficult. This workshop will address those road blocks and strategies to assist your family during this time of transition.

What You Need to Know: The Individual Plan for Employment (IPE)

September 14th, 2011 4:00pm

The VR School to Work Transition program assists youth and young adults with disabilities in achieving meaningful employment, thereby enhancing their independence. The program provides services that help students transition smoothly from high school to education, training, or directly into employment. VR has placed a strong emphasis on the development of social and work skills while youth begin to establish the network of supports they will need after high school. Student participation, with the support of the parent or guardian, is essential to the development of an Individual Plan for Employment (IPE) that outlines a true career path. This presentation will provide information that will empower students and families to: • Navigate the school system to connect with VR, • Understand their role in creating an IPE, • Recognize how an employment goal drives the IPE process, • Identify services and resources that support student transition, and determine and convey when IPE revision are needed. This presentation will inform students and their families regarding what they need to know about the IPE and provide resources to answer any additional questions they may have.
