The new SpecialQuest Goes to College discussion provides a unique opportunity for you to network and communicate with instructors at colleges and universities across the country who have used or are interested in using/adapting the SpecialQuest approach and materials in the courses they teach. Anyone is welcome to join the conversation and sharing of resources. Registration and access to the forum begins April 21. The forum concludes May 5.

Our January 14, 2008 newsletter focused on families by featuring SpecialQuest graduate family stories, a short clip of a family member from a SpecialQuest video, along with linkages to several family resources. One of our SpecialQuest consultants referred us to a wonderful national organization called Family Voices® that we are highlighting today.

Family Voices® is a national grassroots organization that provides information and education about ways to ensure and improve family-centered health care for children and youth with disabilities and chronic conditions. More

The Beach Center on Disability is currently featuring excerpts from our SpecialQuest videos on their Transition Knowledge Bank. This Knowledge Bank includes transition tips developed from a wide variety of materials and combines experience-based wisdom from families and professionals, research, and policy to create useful "bottom line" resources. The Transition Knowledge Bank provides a guide on steps to take to be an active decision-maker before the transition planning conference, during the conference, and in follow-up after the conference.
