Hosts Meghan (Smallwood) and Patrick (Cadigan) shift their focus to the transition planning process as it continues to take shape in sophomore year (of high school). The conversation highlights the importance of opening an ABLE account, attending transition fairs and exploring school-based options such as work programs. Additionally, they discuss various strategies for supporting diploma-bound and non-diploma-bound students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) including exploring career interests, building academic planning, addressing independent living skills, and utilizing assistive technologies.
