Description

Wyoming Institute for Disabilities convened three communities of practice to improve transitions of students with disabilities from early intervention into preschool programs and kindergarten, to and from behavioral interventions, and from secondary to post-secondary education, employment and community living. Composed of family members, educators, and agency representatives, each community developed guidance for the Wyoming Department of Education that recommends improvements to policies and practices for all schools in the state.
