Boca Raton, FL – November 24, 2010 – Unicorn Children’s Foundation is delighted to announce a partnership with Lynn University in bringing a truly unique educational conference to the community, Transitions 2011: Options Beyond High School.

It is never too early to begin thinking about a child’s future. If you have a child in middle or high school that has a developmental, communication, or learning disorder or you provide academic or therapeutic support to these individuals, this is a conference not to miss! This unique one-day conference assembles some of the country’s top experts who specialize in helping students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and other learning differences.
“Transitions 2011” will explore options after high school for individuals affected by developmental and learning challenges. Among the highly acclaimed panel of experts, Ari Ne'eman, founding president of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and member of the National Council on Disability, is returning to present a session for teens and young adults on the importance of self-advocacy and a second session for professionals on the types of supports and accommodations that will facilitate success. Also, the inspiring luncheon speaker, Dr. Gaston Caperton, who has ADHD and went on to become governor of West Virginia and president of The College Board.
