Susan Yellin, Esq. is joining us to help families understand more about post-high school options for their ASD learners. Now more than ever there are many options available to students with special needs interested in pursuing educational opportunities past beyond high school. But with that choice comes uncertainty and concern about both academics and personal challenges in a new environment. As high school ends, parents and students with special needs are often confused about college or other post-secondary options that may be available. Figuring out which programs exist and which may be appropriate, what is needed to apply for and to be accepted into programs and what accommodations may be needed, appropriate and available is challenging for families. NAA NYM is excited to present an expert who can provide information to families as they assess what environment might be appropriate for their post-high school learner as the student works to gain skills and tools they need in their adult life.
The December meeting of the Queens-Based NAA NYM support group will be held on December 9, 2015.
Lauren Tobing-Puente, Ph.D., the group moderator, is a licensed psychologist and has extensive experience working with children with ASD and their families in school-based settings and private practice and has moderated a support group for NAA NYM since Fall 2009.
