When Do I Get to Be an Adult? Transition Planning
Sun, April 19, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
Special education has a history of paternalistic practices that infantilize and/or deny people with disabilities the dignity of risk as individuals. These practices may result in adults feeling that they have little self-determination. This roundtable explores issues of transition for students with disabilities.
