ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kate Duffy
Is Your Teen Ready for Life After High School?
How Parents Can Help Them Choose the Right Path
Where do we go from here? Now what? How can I help my student understand there is life after high school? How can I motivate them to even finish high school? Fear of the unknown is common to everyone, but how do we prepare our children and assure them that it doesn’t have to be frightening? Offering reassurance becomes easier when we understand it ourselves.
Kate, the coauthor of the acclaimed book “Developing Talents” with Dr. Temple Grandin, brings firsthand experience as the mother of two sons on the autism spectrum. Ms. Duffy has personal knowledge of educational avenues for those on the spectrum. She has worked as a transition navigator for college students with disabilities, focusing on competitive integrated employment. She has served as the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) coordinator for a National Science Foundation project to increase the participation and success of students with disabilities in STEM education. Furthermore, she has mentored new educators and conducted workshops on various inclusive classroom strategies.
From this webinar, the viewer will discover:
- Ways to encourage students to complete high school and select an initial career path.
- College is not for everyone.
- Volunteer programs can help develop job skills and open up career opportunities.
- Agencies that offer assistance in furthering students’ goals.
