It's Your Child's Future

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on Life After IEPs.

If you are a subscriber, I’ve been in touch recently. If you don’t subscribe - here’s a brief update.

Life After IEPs is truly a labor of love for me. I've dedicated countless hours here, working to help families plan for the big transition from school to life after IEPs. My “day job” as a transition planning consultant keeps me pretty busy, supporting 18 school districts. In addition, I'm actively involved with our local transition coordinating council. In my work, whether it’s explaining the nuances of transition planning or clarifying terms like "chief complaint definition," I aim to provide clear guidance that helps families navigate this critical period with confidence.

Back in 2014, Life After IEPs reached the point where it was a source of essential transition planning information - with links to important free resources. I was happy to provide this as a gift to families and IEP teams - and I moved on to other projects.

Now - its time for me to return for some new content and some link mending.

Most posts link to public agencies, universities, school districts, or non-profit organizations that have created free transition planning tools. Unfortunately (and this can be really frustrating), the URLs for many of these resources have changed. Often, the resources are still available but now at a different link. Occasionally, you might also come across visuals or illustrations, such as a "lung drawing," that can help clarify complex medical or educational information in the context of transition planning, but these may also have been moved to new locations.

Just as, in Greek mythology, Sisyphus pushes the rock uphill for all eternity - the job of updating all the links on this site is an unending task.

Let’s work smarter rather than harder on this:

• I will spend one hour a week updating links
• If there is a post with a broken link that is very important to you - you can:

1. ”google the resource”, and/or if that doesn’t work you can
2. email me at [email protected] and I’ll prioritize that link.

I will be adding posts occasionally to highlight new resources or changes in relevant laws, etc.

If you have questions or topics you’d like me to address - click on the envelope icon to send me an email.

All the best to you and your child as you plan for life after IEPs!
