Transition planning for students with IEPs and 504 plans often becomes a compliance task rather than a meaningful process. This session equips school counselors with practical, strengths-based strategies to improve postsecondary outcomes. Through a collaborative lens, participants will learn how to increase student voice, strengthen partnerships with special education staff and administrators, and align transition plans with real-world goals. Attendees will leave with tools and strategies they can immediately apply in their school settings.
