I want to thank you for being here today. Our plan today is to take each of you on a journey. A journey that will hopefully challenge you and your mindsets. For today I would like to ask you to put your day to day stressors aside and focus upon what we plan to share with each other and where we plan to go through this process.
Let’s go over a few of the things we will be utilizing today and make sure you feel prepared and packed for our journey. As we travel we want to make sure we all stay together…so if you have a question don’t hesitate to ask… we will try to answer it for you. If we don’t know, we will try to point you to a resource to get you to the information you need.
I am Stephanie… education for over 18 years….I have experience as a general educator (4th grade & 6th grade ELA), special education behavior teacher, special education counselor, Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, and five years experience as a special education administrator. I recently developed PAST, in these initial stages we provide training sessions such as this as well as contracting services for schools in assessments, FIEPs, counseling services and consulting. We are building momentum toward a five year plan to create a skill building center for individuals with disabilities in transition.
As we think about transition planning it’s important to keep in mind each of our participates are going to be coming from at least 1 of 3 perspectives or viewpoints.
Over the next 45 minutes we will review the importance of each of these perspectives and the role they play in the planning process.
The importance of a team in PCP is to gather the experts on the specific perspectives and settings…. One of the key elements of Person-Centered Planning is listening and piecing together the perspectives to have understanding….
This video is an illustration of why we need to take the time to gather more information….
