Come to this presentation to learn about the importance of preparing for transitions: From middle school to high school and high school to college.

Meet the Speakers:

Dr. Sarah Robison has been a professional educator since graduating from Vanderbilt University. After earning her M.Ed., she taught in Washington, DC, and Abu Dhabi, supporting middle and high school students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and executive functioning needs. After returning to the U.S. in 2015, Sarah joined College Living Experience, where she supported young adults with Autism as they developed greater independence. She served as Program Director for nearly three years before stepping away from full-time work to complete her Ed.D. at Vanderbilt.

Sarah brings extensive expertise in post-secondary transition counseling and helps families explore gap-year opportunities for students with ADHD and executive functioning challenges.

Dr. Rebecca Little earned her Ed.D in Learning and Organizational Change from Baylor University, researching faculty attitudes toward students with invisible disabilities. As a former Disability Access Advisor at a private university in DC, she saw firsthand the gap between the skills students bring to college and the independence it demands.

That insight now drives her work in transition coaching, helping graduating high school seniors prepare for college life. Rebecca helps students assess their readiness for college's academic and social demands, teaching practical strategies for success, explaining campus supports and the accommodations process, and building confidence for what's ahead — especially for students with delayed executive function skills who may find independence and decision-making challenging.

This virtual presentation is free and open to the public, but reservations are required.
