We need your help to get the word out to parents of 8th grade students and high school students receiving special education services who will need help determining what transition services they will need for their children. Transition services can be anything from getting into college, to finding a job, to preparing for independent or semi-independent living, and to making the most of life after high school. The goal of this workshop will be to provide parents with information that will help them develop a transition plan for their child.
On February 13th we have a consultant coming from outside Charleston who will help lead the discussion and help parents formulate ideas and questions to ask their IEP teams and the Office of Exceptional Children. It will be held from 10-12am at the Public Library on Calhoun St. in Meeting Room B and in the evening from 6-7:30pm in the school district building. I should be able to give you free parking if you park in the lot attached to the school district building (not the library). The parents on the Parent Advisory Council and the staff of the Office of Exceptional Children want to improve our transition services. Please mark your calendar and spread the word to parents of 8th-12th graders. If your child is younger than 8th grade then please send a friend whose child is in those grades! We hope to keep the groups fairly small for discussion. So, please register for this by emailing me or leaving a message at 937-6483! We can only accommodate about 20 people at each workshop. Thank you! |

What is Down Syndrome? |
|
Down syndrome is a chromosome disorder which usually causes a delay in physical, intellectual and language development. The degree to which each individual is affected varies widely. The exact causes of Down syndrome are currently unknown, and although there are prenatal tests that can detect Down syndrome, there is at this time no method for prevention and no cure. |
