2021 PA Community of Practice Transition Virtual Conference

Navigating the Future: A Lifetime Trip

August 11-12, 2021

Join us for a journey through the transition planning process. Throughout this 2-day conference, participants will learn how to be proactive in planning their “lifetime trip” while “filling their suitcases” with valuable resources and strategies to help youth take ownership of their future.

Participants should register for this event by visiting the PaTTAN training calendar at: http://www.pattan.net.

We are excited for the launch of the new PA Secondary Transition website, which has been jointly funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education (PDE-BSE) and Pennsylvania Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (PA OVR).

Visit the site at: https://www.pasecondarytransition.com/

The website is intended to be a "one-stop shop" for general information about transition, practices and resources aligned with Transition Discoveries, an inter-agency shared events calendar, and a place to share current announcements and information.

Be sure to check out the search feature on the Resource page for curriculum, assessments, and other transition resources!
