As a parent of a young child with a visual impairment, it often feels like you are consumed with the here and now. Understandably. Yet, knowledge about different transitions for your child, including formal and informal ones, can help anticipate and plan ahead so your child is as ready as they can be for the next step.
Join Andrea Rutherford, TVI, Director of Compass @ Perkins, a college readiness program, and Leslie Thatcher, EdM, Director of Program Development and Planning at the Transition Center @ Perkins, to learn more about transitions, and how you can be prepared as an advocate, parent and key player in your child’s growth. We explore the skills, including skills through the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC), your student can work on at home and school, to create a range of opportunities and options as your child grows.
