Event Description
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) conducts these symposia to provide high-quality, timely, and evidence-based strategies focused on improving performance in a specific topic. Their 2023-2024 Expect, Engage, Empower Symposium Series offers an opportunity for the field to join OSERS in the challenge to raise expectations, engage families earlier, and fully empower all individuals who support transition services to improve post-school outcomes for children and youth with disabilities and their families. This webinar will focus on the importance of collaboration between special education, vocational rehabilitation, and centers for independent living.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act provides protections and ensures a free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment for eligible children with disabilities. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act prepares job seekers, including youth with disabilities and those with significant barriers to employment, to obtain, maintain, and advance in employment in the competitive labor market through education, training, and support services.
General and special education teachers, related service providers, administrators, vocational rehabilitation specialists, and local and state agencies support high expectations, engagement, and empowerment by building their collective capacity to support children, youth, and young adults with disabilities and their families throughout their educational and professional endeavors. During this event, OSERS will look at the collaboration among these personnel to maximize the experiences and opportunities for children, youth, and young adults with disabilities and their families.
