Video Taped Interviews on Preparing for Education Beyond High School
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction in collaboration with the Wisconsin Community of Practice on ASD / DD is seeking educators, families, and students (must be 18 or older) to volunteer for short video-taped interviews on the topic of best practice in preparing students with autism spectrum disorders for post secondary education and life in institutions of higher education. These video interviews will take place in four locations around Wisconsin (to be determined based on volunteers) during the month of June. If you are or know someone who has helped prepare a student with ASD for post secondary education or if you are a person with ASD and interested in providing short (10-30 minutes) interviews answering specific questions about navigating post secondary education settings (technical colleges, 2 year colleges, universities, etc), please contact daniel.parker@dpi.wi.gov (608) 266-5194 for more information and to schedule an interview. The questions for the interview will be available in advance and we will make every effort to conduct interviews near the desired location of volunteers.
