In our first Transition Talks workshop in our 2023 – 24 series, we kick things off with an overview of transition planning and important steps for preparing for life after high school. We also introduce our Perkins Transition Center Team the entire Transition Talks workshops series, and previewed the November session about IEPs.

Transition Talks workshops are a series of monthly, virtual workshops hosted by Perkins and industry experts, designed to help you plan your blind or visually impaired young adult’s future after High School. These workshops are open to families from across the country. Throughout the year, we’re tackling robust topics including the self-determined IEP, housing options, college pathways for young adults with disabilities, state and federal benefits, guardianship, financial and legal planning and more.
