Conference on Transition for Students with Disabilities

Initiative Description

Our secondary transition conference for students with disabilities is a perfect example of one of our partnerships. The major organizations in which funding is braided include IATP, Idaho SDE- Special Education Division, and IDVR. 

Lessons Learned/Replication

The students with disabilities learned about assistive technology and other secondary transition services available in the state. This conference continues to make families, agencies, and others aware of IATP. Although this year had a smaller number of attendees due to COVID restrictions, typically, there are over 300 participants. The partnership is successful because the conference continues annually. We also show students increased their knowledge. It would be best if you had strong SDE and VR secondary transition coordinators.
