transition

Christine, Caroline, Leslie

This is a resource for a friend of mine in Atchison. She will be happy to visit with you: Julie Blair...367-4162...you can call her at school and leave a message.

Another contact--Shawn Mackay shawnmackay@smsd.org--she is a special education teacher and department chair in Shawnee Mission at North High School. They have eliminated their transition specialist positions and now the teachers, or case manager, are responsible for transition planning for students on IEP's. This is a significant learning curve for teachers and with the current economic situation could be more common place. I think she would give you some great insight. Let her know that you are my students and that she and I are on the Special Education Advisory Council together.
