Why My Transition Presentation?
High school students will learn what college is really about. The laws change, IDEA v. ADA, and so do the supports. Know what to expect in college with regards to your academic accommodations. Learn what classes you should be taking in high school to best prepare for postsecondary institutions.Gina Carson, Education Coach
I have seen the need for students, primarily high school students transitioning, but could be as young as elementary age, to be "coached" in what classes to take in order to best prepare for after graduation. We need to remember we are all entitled to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and we should make the most of it. This may mean you need my services to analyze your secondary path. Although students have disabilities, we still want them to be challenged at school, and to receive the most rigorous education available. This means taking 4 years of math in high school, and cutting out study hall for an additional academic class. For a nominal fee, I will meet with you and analyze your situation and give you a plan of action.Hire Me
