The ESE/SS Department in
partnership with The PEER Group of Sun Up/Abilities Resource Center in Vero
Beach recently co-sponsored PATH to a Dream Transition Conference for parents
of children with Autism and Developmental Disabilities grades 6-12 at the VBHS
Freshman Learning Center. The attached
brochure was designed by the ESE/SS Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and was
distributed via mail and backpack to approximately 140 Indian River County
families. The focus of the conference
was on the Planning Alternative Tomorrow’s with Hope (PATH) process which is a
powerful planning tool used for individuals and groups to work toward their
dreams and/or vision for the future. Members
of the ESE/SS PAC have received training in the PATH process from the Florida
Inclusion Network (FIN) and will be facilitating the process for families of
students with disabilities as we move forward.
The conference was referred to as a “mountaintop moment” by many of the
approximately 50 parents and those in attendance. Vendors from 16 local and state agencies were
on hand to provide resources and information for parents of students with
disabilities. Our vision is that this will become an annual event!!
