18 Predictors for Post-Secondary Outcomes
...and What School-based Therapists Can Do Now!
This course presents the 18 predictors of postsecondary outcomes according to the systematic reviews of Test, et al (2009) and Mazzotti, et al (2016). Karen will discuss the predictors, ranging from inclusion in general education, parental involvement, self-determination, and student support network, to social, self-care, travel and independent living skills. Participants will learn to optimize these predictors by incorporating evidence-based strategies in their practice whether they are working in an elementary, middle or high school. Karen will utilize case vignettes and videos to demonstrate strategies. By providing services that promote achievement of current IEP goals and postsecondary outcomes, therapists will help fulfill IDEA’s promise of preparing students for college, career and community participation.
