Leander ISD’s Special Programs Parent Liaison, Ashley Anderson, is joined by a few members of the Destination…Life Steering Committee, Denise Geiger, Will Renfro, and Candy Squilla for a conversation all about Destination…Life and why it matters for families. The Destination…Life Transition Conference is designed to support Texas families as they prepare their students with disabilities for life beyond high school. From early childhood through high school, families can connect with experts, explore resources, and gain practical guidance to help their students successfully transition into adulthood.

This Collaborative Partners podcast series provides a platform to continue the discussion around supporting our Special Programs families and enhancing educational experiences for every student. Our goal is to bring together voices and insights that empower families and foster collaboration among key stakeholders in the journey toward a meaningful future.
