Product Description:
Kentucky Works is creating a platform for interagency professional training on effective practices for transition; this training will take the form of online, narrated modules for special education and related service personnel, VR counselors, DD case managers and provider agencies. Module 1, entitled Transition 101, is an overview of the current status of employment outcomes for youths with intellectual and developmental disabilities in KY, the key steps in the transition process itself, the legal requirements and the roles of each agency, types of employment (competitive, supported, and customized), and the development of measurable post-secondary goals for transition-age youth. The module has a series of guiding questions, which form the basic structure of the module, with interactive questions interspersed throughout.
