Beyond Job Readiness: A Holistic Approach to Transitioning Youth with Disabilities

Originally presented on 2/13/25 Description: Supporting youth with disabilities as they transition from high school to adulthood goes beyond job readiness and life skills training. At The Transition Academy, we believe in a holistic approach that nurtures the whole person—focusing not only on employment and independence but also on social, emotional, and mental well-being. This webinar will explore how families, educators, employers, and communities can work together—rather than in silos—to create opportunities and meaningful futures for young people with disabilities. Learn how shifting perspectives from limitations to possibilities can make all the difference in their journey to adulthood. About the Presenter: Kim Riley is a social entrepreneur, mother, and advocate who envisioned a better transition experience for youth with disabilities in Kansas City. As the parent of an autistic child, she experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating the confusing and poorly designed postsecondary preparation process. Determined to create a better path, she founded The Transition Academy (TTA) in 2019 to help young people and their families access the resources and support they need for a successful future. With a background spanning higher education, healthcare, and nonprofits, she brings a wealth of experience to her work. Kim holds a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Missouri and an Executive MBA from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. ‪@TheTransitionAcademy‬
