Concept Development for Transition Planning with Students Who are Blind & Visually Impaired
Channel: Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium - ERLC
Date: 2017-05-12

In this webinar, Courtney will focus on Concept Development for Living Skills with an emphasis on the development of essential skills that are important for a successful transition process for students with vision loss. For students transitioning to adulthood, concept development is a crucial component of success. “Knowledge is not only useful but also empowering, and promotes confidence and self-determination.”

Courtney Tabor-Abbott was a transition coach/specialist at Perkins School for the Blind. She focused on connecting with students to assist with developing the skills necessary for them to be successful in college, career, and adult life. Her blogs and articles about life, as a mother who is blind raising two children, provide many, often humorous insights.
