Transition in a Global Context: Making Impact
On October 3, 2022, the Global Resource Center for Inclusive Education will present an international forum on post-secondary transition of youth with disabilities. Editors and contributors to the latest issue of Impact, a flagship publication of the Institute on Community Integration (ICI), will discuss on transition experiences from around the world, including from Ethiopia, Kenya, Japan, Bhutan, Spain, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Australia, and the United States. The authors will present highlights from this feature issue on transition in a global context, including photos, personal stories, and policy recommendations. Participants will engage in a discussion related to the issues raised in the publication. The event will have a hybrid format: in person at ICI (housed at the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain at the University of Minnesota) and on Zoom. Review the latest issue of Impact online now.
