Martina Stump is the Postsecondary Readiness and Transitions
Coordinator. She works with the Special Populations Division Department of
Education. The goal of her department is to improve transition outcomes for
youth and young adults with disabilities. Martina provides guidance about transition
planning that will assist families and students in helping figure out the next
steps after graduation.
Covid 19 has caused many changes with transitions.
Martina encourages educators to think outside the box when it comes to
incorporating life experiences with students. Postsecondary Readiness and
transition looks different this year. Students are now required to wear mask in
the work site. Now students participate in virtual job fairs. They also
participate in on-line job shadowing. All normally in person courses that are
required should be able to be accessed online or in person. In order to help
students prepare for transition between high school and beyond, early planning
is essential. Preparing for transition can begin in elementary school.
Encourage your child to be involved and self- advocate for themselves. Parents
should make sure they adapt the work skills taught at school in the home as
well.

lessons, ideas, resources and much more.
