Are you unsure of what the future holds after graduating and completing high school? Through disABILITY Resource Center’s services and transition programs, high school and college-aged youth with disabilities learn to live, work, and enjoy life as independently as possible in their own community. dRC’s programs and trainings assist people with disabilities to achieve their goals and make informed decisions. All of their services are free to their clients and no referral is needed. Their presentation will touch on the social group and art classes that are offered in the evenings as well.

In this training, we will discuss:

• The transition process: What to expect and how to ease the change
• The typical kindergarten day: What your child will experience, from routines to classroom activities
• Tips and strategies for preparing your child emotionally, socially, and academically
• How to communicate with your child’s teacher and get involved in the school community

This workshop will teach parents and others positive interventions to help youth who struggle with school avoidance. It will also cover anxiety, challenging behaviors, and special education.

Android devices have many accessibility settings built-in to their operating systems. Join us to learn about the different ways you can modify your Android devices to make them more accessible. This workshop will cover voice access, text-to-speech features, vision features, and more.

TNSTEP is proud to partner with TEIS and TN Voices to bring you this valuable opportunity to support emotional regulation in young children.

Presented by TN Voices, this session will introduce parents, caregivers, and early childhood professionals to Tucker the Turtle, a scripted story designed to help young children learn to calm down when experiencing strong emotions. The story teaches children to “tuck into their shell” and use deep breathing techniques, with visuals to reinforce the strategy.

As part of the session, we will do a visual "How to Read an IEP' and ask for input from participants about what areas of the IEP process more training would be most useful.
