Liz Falk, Executive Director of HDS Foundation, will present alongside Dr. Tara Frazier, Associate Director of the Student Accessibility Center and Director of the THRIVE Program at the University of North Florida, during a session titled “Community-Based Instruction: Lessons for ALL!” The presentation highlights how partnerships among schools, families, businesses, and community organizations can expand meaningful transition opportunities for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related abilities.
The conference focuses on the pillars of Living, Learning, and Working, which closely align with the mission of the HDS Foundation. Through more than 300 sessions, attendees will explore innovative approaches to employment, post-secondary education, independent living, self-determination, family engagement, and emerging practices in transition services.
In addition to presenting, Liz will attend sessions and connect with professionals from across the country to learn about new trends, research, and successful transition models. These insights will be shared with HDS Foundation teachers and partners to strengthen programming and expand opportunities for the students and families we serve.
The HDS Foundation is honored to share its work on a national stage and looks forward to bringing valuable knowledge and resources back to South Florida as we continue building pathways to independence, inclusion, and success for young adults with ASD and related abilities.
