Family Training: From No Where to Know Where, Utah Parent Center
Full-day workshops provide training on how to have a successful transition from school to post-secondary life for students with disabilities. This workshop will be offered at three locations in order to facilitate attendance from various regions of the state.

Who should attend? Parent leaders, parents, or professionals who would like to be prepared with information to be able to be a resource and support to families who will be having children go through the transition process. This is a "Trainer of Trainers" workshop, and some participants may wish to assist with future workshops on transition, but doing presentations is not required. This is an ideal way for group leaders to gain information that will help their own families and their communities. Family to Family Network Leaders and other partners of the Utah Parent Center are strongly encouraged to participate.

Registration is free. Please contact the Utah Parent Center at 1-800-468-1160 or 801-272-1051 or email Cassandra Shaw-Myers at cassands@utahparentcenter.org to register. Space will be somewhat limited, so register early to secure your spot.
