Send us a textLinks Updated 10/2025!Hosts Megan (Smallwood) and Patrick (Cadigan) give parents an overview of what to expect from the transition process, starting in a student's freshman year of high school and working through to senior year (or the super-senior year). They emphasize the importance of starting early, with parents and students participating in IEP meetings and considering applications to DORS or DDA. They recommend creating a "home file" to keep track of important documents and assessments. This and more, so join the conversation!Episode Keywords:DDA, transition, student, SSI, conversations, parents, coordinator, years, young adult, talk, guardianship, milestones, school, account, work, timeframe, opportunity, agenciesLinks:Where to Start (page)Acronyms & Definitions (page)Supplemental Security Income (page)Project Search (link)Maryland (specific) Links/Supports:Maryland ABLE Accounts (site)Maryland Transition (site)Support the showTo download a copy of a transcript for this episode or any of our previous conversations, click here.Also visit our Podcast webpage to find links to all of our other discussions; go to www.p2transition.com.Additional information about post-secondary transition can be found at our website.The Post-Secondary Transition Podcast Facebook page.Visit our YouTube Channel to find additional video resources.Intro/Outro music by AudioCoffee from Pixabay.Transition music by Joseph McDade from Transistor.
