The College of Education’s Auburn Transition Leadership Institute will hold the 26th Alabama Transition Conference in March, according to a University press release.
Transition work and research is based on accessing the needs of students with disabilities and supporting their development from childhood to adulthood in all areas of life including education, employment, rehabilitation, social support, advocacy and self-efficacy, the release states.
This year’s conference will feature the West Alabama region and will highlight “Transition – Seeking the Way,” in recognition of the region’s work and support toward serving students with disabilities and improving their transition experiences throughout various stages of their life, according to the release.
The keynote speaker will be Jody Fuller, a humorist, speaker, writer and soldier, the release states. Fuller will speak about overcoming life’s challenges, including poverty and stuttering.
