Last night, over 200 people packed the Shamrock High School cafeteria to kick off this year's series of Town Hall meetings on school transition. The presenters, Dr. Steve Hall, Nancy O Hara, and Susan Sherman fielded questions on the new waiver, the new graduation rules for students with IEPs, and how to enroll into Vocational Rehab services. Dr. Hall remains optimistic about the impact that the new waiver will have for individuals and their families, while Nancy O'Hara talked of the importance of including the employment dreams of the student and his or her family as the school team helps to develop a transition plan.
A big thank you to the Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities and Linda Wilson for sponsoring the event. We also appreciated the following Partners coming out to show their support: Rene Demry, Jackie Crews, Sara Takele, Dorothea Cadet, Nancy Sellars, Pam Cannon, Jennifer Dickson, Scott Bales, Elizabeth Goodrich, Millie Powell, Linda Wilson, Chris Hunnicutt, Mike Welter and Stacey Ramirez.
