Family Involvement

Family Involvement

Moms, dads, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents are often essential members of a student’s or an adult’s team. They’re on the transition frontlines—helping with coaching, transportation, communication, motivation, and implementation. Transition includes building new skills, making new connections, and accepting change, for families as well as students. That means families need to be included in the process and training early, often and ongoing. The pages on the left offer resources and tools family members may need to help with timelines and decisions.
