Parent to Parent of NYS is interested in hearing from families residing in NYS about the transition process as their family member with a disability prepares for adult life after high school. We are asking for assistance with this from families who have someone between the ages of 14 and 26.

There are several steps that have been put in place to guide educators, parents and students towards successful transition. With New York's goal of 'Employment First' it is important to understand if the transition process is helping people achieve successful employment and if are families engaged in the transition process.

Can you take a few minutes to offer us feedback on your experience with the transition process? Each question includes a comment box. Add your comments.

Please complete this survey before Friday, January 13, 2012.
