In this podcast episode, Leanne Pirece from Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) talks about this unique program through the Tennessee Department of Human Services. Pre-ETS is a program that helps students between the ages of 14 and 22 with disabilities prepare for life after high school. The program offers services such as career counseling, advocating for oneself, budgeting, and basic life skills. Leanne explains that Pre-ETS works closely with Vocational Rehabilitation (VR), which helps students find jobs or pursue further education after high school. She emphasizes the importance of parents understanding that the Individualized Education Program (IEP) does not follow the student to college or a job, and Pre-ETS and VR can help with the transition.
