Jane, I heard this interview on my local NPR station coming in to work this morning. They (Roger and his mother) are available on-line throughout this week to receive questions. Thanks! Lisa Ewers Transition Specialist Cabarrus County Schools Concord, NC >>> Jane Falls <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 9/11/2008 11:40 AM >>> Our colleague from Ohio sends this. It is a great example of success! Enjoy and share. Thank you, John for passing it along! Jane This is an outstanding NPR news article about Roger, an 18 year old student with autism, ADHD, and chronic depression, who is entering the University of Wisconsin as a freshman this month. His mother and his family provided and are providing all sorts of supports for him, and now he will be basically on his own - a great example of how secondary transition can work for students with disabilities. Please send it on to colleagues who would find it useful. You can down load and listen to the pod cast if you like. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94429083 Thanks, John John D.
