Webinar January 21st, 2025, with Perkins School for the Blind of Watertown, MA. Part of their series of family workshops designed for parents and professionals to learn the many aspects of transition planning for young adults with disabilities.
January 21, 2025 – Transition talk: Parental Mindset: Stepping Back and Letting Go. Join a conversation with two parents who have successfully shifted from being hands-on to stepping back, fostering self-determination and supporting greater autonomy for their adult children with disabilities.
* Their parental shift from “being in charge” to encouraging self-reliance has helped their adult children build confidence, improve decision-making skills, and better utilize the support systems outside their families.
Panelists:
- Amy Brenneman, Actor, Mother and Disability Advocate
- Daniella Mini, Blogger, Mother and Disability Advocate
- Ann Phelan, Transition Center Manager of Resources and Engagement, Perkins Transition Center
There will be an interactive Q&A during the discussion.
