MyKey SpEd Transition Toolbox - Barbara Beck

I have been teaching in special education for 23 years at the secondary level, with an emphasis in adult transition services for students ages 18-21. My degrees in Speech Language Pathology and Special Education have enabled me to engage students and their families in providing positive post-school outcomes. I'm continuing to learn and grow professionally as I look to provide support to students, families and teachers like myself.

Highly collaborative and inclusive style, with supportive/encouraging approach to see students capitalize on their unique skills and abilities.

My curriculum entitled My Transition Portfolio - Keys to Unlocking Self-Determination for Young Adults with Disabilities (release date October 1, 2015) is a comprehensive portfolio system integrating person-centered information with a focus on transition planning. This is a workbook to assist individuals in sharing personal preferences, aptitudes and interests with caregivers and professionals in post-secondary, adult service agency settings.
