Because transition planning includes areas other than academics—for example, planning for healthcare needs or living arrangements—parents often serve as the vital bridge between school and community involvement for their child. Participants of the presentation will learn the components of the transition planning process and the role of both the family, educational team, and adult agency.

2022 is bringing new challenges for parents. Raising kids today may feel like a dizzying set of issues: managing screen use (especially during a pandemic); promoting healthy social relationships; and avoiding social problems like bullying and cyberbullying. This presentation will focus on concrete, down-to-earth approaches that emphasize ways that parents can help build their child's emotional resilience, improve social skills, reduce screen time use (without constant conflict), minimize fighting and bullying, and help their child emerge successfully from a global pandemic. Research can give us clear guidance and supporting families and communities can help everyone raise happier children.
