Partners in Education: Transition Mini Conference

 As we observe Veterans Day and honor all those who have served our country, past and present, Americans spent their day at home, watching TV, doing chores, and planning their weekend. Yet some youth spent time as part of the SPAN Youth Chat! Yesterday's chat was short, but we promoted the Partners In Education: Transition Mini-Conference, Saturday, 11/14 at 10 AM - 12 PM. It will feature a Youth Track (ages 14-21) that will speak on Youth Leadership Development, Building Youth Self-Advocacy Skills, and Leading Your IEP Meeting. 

Here is a run-through on How To Register:

  1. Select register on the Eventbrite page (link below resources at the end of the blog post). Select Youth Admission ticket (adult tickets are sold out).
  2. Fill out contact information.
  3. Fill out all form questions.
  4. There will be an option to note if you need a Spanish interpreter or accommodations. 
  5. (Optional) Check off if you would like to receive updates from the organizer and Eventbrite.
  6. Submit registration.
    And, that is all! Follow the steps and you will be registered for this Saturday's Transition Mini-Conference. Are you excited to attend? Do you any burning questions about the conference?
