Successful transition planning can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. In our recent webinar, Tyler Owens, iElevate Career Coach and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, shares valuable insights and strategies to navigate these crucial life changes.
Tyler, with his personal experience and professional background, highlights the importance of early intervention and community engagement in preparing for transitions. He emphasizes the shift in responsibility from parents and teachers to the individual as they transition to college or the workforce, stressing the need for self-advocacy and understanding one's rights under the law.
One key takeaway is the importance of building executive functioning skills, such as time management and social interactions, from a young age. Tyler provides practical tips, like using task lists and technology for memory deficits, cue cards for social interactions, and sensory accommodations for sensitivities.
