What does a pathway to adulthood look like for young adults with disabilities? In this episode, we talk about Transition Plus—a collaborative program between Hopkins Public Schools and St. Louis Park Public Schools designed to prepare young adults with disabilities for life beyond high school. More than just academics, Transition Plus focuses on real-life readiness. It equips students with the skills they need for employment, independent living, community participation, and postsecondary planning.

Together, Superintendent Dr. Rhoda Mhirirpiri-Reed and our guests discuss a typical day in the program, the challenges and triumphs of transitioning into adulthood, and the powerful role of local business partnerships … and you hear from two amazing students who are also twins!

Guests:
  • Alaina Martin - Transition Plus Coordinator and Unified Special Olympics Liaison

  • Fhonda Contreras - Director of Special Services at Hopkins Schools

  • James and Jacob Martinez - Transition Plus scholars
