Office of Special Education Programs webinar
*While the initiative is grounded in secondary transition, the planning can begin at a very young age. Therefore, all OSEP grantees from the IDEA Part B and C communities are invited and encouraged to attend.
“Improving how we address transition services for youth with disabilities and their families is a critical need that will only be improved through prioritized and collaborative efforts. The 3Es initiative will focus on improving postsecondary outcomes for children and youth with disabilities and their families by challenging the field to join OSEP to raise expectations, engage families earlier, and empower all who support transition services to improve outcomes. OSEP believes that every part of education, including instructional practices, related services, curricular standards and beyond, leads, connects, and builds toward the purpose of readying students with disabilities for lifelong success. The Expect, Engage, Empower initiative is an opportunity to bring together various stakeholders to explore potential strategies and innovative approaches to address transition for children and youth with disabilities.”
