For this “60 Highlights for 60 Years,” we’re spotlighting a resource to help families navigate the transition from school-age to adult services.
Lanterman Regional Center is dedicated to helping you make informed decisions about your life goals and your future as an adult. We know this transition can feel overwhelming — our goal is to help you feel prepared and confident stepping into adult life as an active member of your community.
To support you through this process, Lanterman is hosting a two-part Zoom Conference on preparing for the transition from High School to Adult Services. This year the sessions will be held on the third Thursday of September and October.
Session 1 — Thursday, September 17
Marjan Kermani from Lanterman’s Special Education Law Clinic will discuss the Individualized Transition Plan (ITP) and how to build a meaningful transition plan from high school. She’ll be joined by representatives from LA Unified, Burbank Unified, Glendale Unified, and Pasadena Unified School Districts, who will share the transition programs available through their districts.
Session 2 — Thursday, October 15
Cynthia Waterson from Waterson and Huth Law Firm will present on Alternatives to Conservatorship and Supported Decision Making. Rhiannon Maycumber and Katy Granados, Lanterman’s Assistant Directors of Adult Services, will also join to share the range of adult services available to support individuals in living meaningful, productive and independent lives.
Sessions will be presented in English. Interpretation is available upon request.
