Registration: Visit the third floor to check in for the conference.

Parking: The self-service parking garage is immediately to the northwest of the hotel, on the corner of Soledad and Martin. For those staying at the Wyndham, the reduced parking rate will be added to your bill. Your hotel key will give you in/out privileges. If you are not staying at the hotel, but parking at Wyndham, you should pay for parking at the front desk (identifying yourself as Texas Transition participant) and you will get a key card needed to exit the garage. You can purchase a parking card for multiple days.

The goal of the project is to develop Basic Employability Skills Training (BEST), an innovative curriculum for employability skills training based on research evidences. The curriculum can be used in Texas high schools for teaching employability skills to high school juniors and seniors with disabilities who are eligible for pre-ETS services with the potential to gain employment. The curriculum can be a Pre-ETS Elective Course.
We will present the completed steps of the curriculum development. Steps include developing a basic list of employability skills, receiving feedback from transition educators and professionals, developing a curriculum guide and designing lessons for the elective course.
