The Structure of Building a Transition Plan and Team
Webinar Recordings to Learn about Transition
For Special Education
We held a Webinar, Navigating Your Student's Transition Plan, on January 12, 2022, and recorded it. This recording is a general overview of Transition related topics. The first five minutes we worked out the kinks and did a pre-event survey. If you jump to the 4-minute mark, you'll see the survey results. If you jump to the 5-minute mark, you'll meet the panelists. We hope that you find it helpful. If the link does not work, please try youtube.
For ADA Section 504
On August 29, 2022, we held a Webinar about Section 504, Transition, and Resources, that included Vocational Rehabilitation. Midori Clough, DSD 504 Coordinator explained about what a "504" is, how it is determined and implemented, the importance of Transition planning. "Transition" refers to "Transition to Adulthood Roles and Responsibilities." Please watch to learn more about how there are resources to support preparing for adulthood, including Vocational Rehabilitation.

Heroic, Fun Videos to Advertise the Transition Fair
Here are some videos for your student or classroom to see and think about coming to our annual Transition Fair. We asked for some ideas and these great students went to work and came up with some creative ideas - all of which want to have you thinking about your future and preparing with the instruction, supports, team members, and service you need.
We want to thank students in Layton High School's Video Editing Class for their help in 2019. These were great!
This year's Transition Fair will be March 6, 2025 from 5-8 pm. We will be at the Layton Campus of Weber State University, again. We hope to see you there!
