About the Event
Improving how we address transition services for youth with disabilities and their families is a critical need that will only be improved through prioritized and collaborative efforts. The 3E initiative will provide an opportunity for the field to join OSEP in the challenge to raise expectations, engage families earlier, and fully empower all who support transition services to improve postschool outcomes for children and youth with disabilities and their families. OSEP believes that every part of education, from instructional practices to related services to curricular standards and beyond, is critical to the seamless delivery of high-quality IDEA transition programming that leads, connects, and builds toward the purpose of readying youth with disabilities for lifelong success. Such seamless delivery relies on the collaboration between educators, vocational rehabilitation, and other service providers with authentic engagement of youth and families. The Expect, Engage, Empower initiative is an opportunity to bring together various stakeholders to explore potential strategies and innovative approaches to address transition for children and youth with disabilities.
