How can deaf youth practice and develop their transition skills at home and online?

- Take the Self-Determination Inventory and work on areas to improve self-determination based on an individualized report.
- Take online transition assessments to connect interests to careers and learn about different skills needed for life after high school.
- Watch #DeafSuccess community stories of deaf professionals to learn about the skills and self-beliefs necessary to reach career goals.
- Learn how to build a resume.
- Practice interview skills by doing mock interviews with family members or through online platforms with teachers, classmates, and/or friends.
- Learn and practice independent living skills at home.
- Meet remotely with the school’s IEP team for more ideas and strategies to develop transition skills.
