A Transition Planning Resource for Life After High School
For students with disabilities and their families
|
|
 |
My Future My Plan is a curriculum designed to motivate and guide
students with disabilities and their families as they begin early
transition planning for life after high school. It promotes positive
attitudes and self-advocacy, and assists students, parents, and
professionals to make the transition planning process more effective.
The curriculum package – which may be used in home, school,
and community settings – includes a videotape and discussion
guide, a workbook for students, and a guide for family members and
teachers. All materials are available in English and Spanish.

My Future My Plan Videotape and Discussion Guide
Finding motivation to do something can be difficult. “It’ll
take too much time. I don’t know what to do. There’s
no one here to help me.” These are common reasons for inaction.
This videotape tells the inspiring stories of three students and
how they overcome barriers to achieve their goals. Their stories
of determination motivate other students to explore their own options
for the future. A discussion guide helps students and families to
prepare for and begin the process of active involvement in transition
planning.
My Future My Plan Workbook for Students and Guide for Family Members
and Teachers
The workbook for students offers a step-by-step guide to transition
planning. It addresses students’ legal rights, career exploration,
self-advocacy, who to turn to for support, and much more. The workbook
includes profiles of students with a range of disabilities who share
how the skills taught in the workbook helped them achieve their
transition planning goals. The guide for family members and teachers
offers suggestions on how to work with students to use the workbook,
and includes additional information for family members about letter
writing and estate planning.
