Part 4 of the webinar series focuses on transition services for youth-in-care with disabilities. The child welfare and education systems are charged with helping youth transition to adulthood, and this is especially true for youth with disabilities. Youth-in-care with disabilities, faced with compounded difficulties with transition due to aging out of the child welfare system, may experience significant anxiety and stress. School-based mental health professionals can help to alleviate this stress with effective transition planning. Barbara Moore, former director of special education and current director of the Center for Excellence in Child Welfare, will highlight effective transition planning and support for post-secondary education. Dr. David Strauser, University of Illinois researcher in the area of vocational rehabilitation services for youth-in-care with disabilities, will share insights on effective transition planning for pre-employment services. Representatives from UCP Seguin of Greater Chicago, experts in advancing independence through the use of technology, will address services and support for independent living.
