thing is squared and good morning everyone I am honored to be here and would like to say thanks University a president administrator and also the conference organizer or particularly  who connected me and invite me to be here today she also like let me call my mom special education thank you again for giving me the great update to speak on the critical issue that affect the millions of children globally eventually equitable and the effective transition service products which you need and apologize for my limitation that prevent me from the joining onsite conference today my presentation greetings the Dubai is focused on the policy cap and systematics Infinity that limit the success of transition system transition service support due or children with disability  in the transition from the screw to adulthood despite existing legal framework  Global still encounter in equity and various so my objective today is to explore and highlight the global Solutions  may offer both and dialect for effective transition service or person with disability my speaking today will not only be from my point of view or from my own experiences but also include many study around the particularly uh over the past decade concerning the situation of transition service for Frozen with this ability which you may see about the so 17 article in the public and cite and reference to my speaking and my presentation to ensure that improved by the empirical data what's your transition service transition service any of you might have known but I would like to sum up the key concept and the thing should be considered please refer to coordinate again it is of activity decide to improve the academic and functional achievement not only academic but functional achievement option with this ability at they move from screw to the possible life for adult food this service include instruction  delayed their services come with the experiences and development employment and other both School adult living objectives including daily living skill as well  globally in article   and some legal aspect like idea the idea is individual with disability Education Act up you during the day ident explicitly first of all get to know about the trans service transition service  be sure to understand the conceptual validation understanding that transitions will require both the systemic and personal links  is emphasized  there or emphasize inclusion dignity and participation the second thing that made me my related to transition service  it's just Brown frame burner ecological model that remind us by multiple system or multiple Factor from family to policy I know the that we need to understand it's about intersectionality it mean how the rest property and intersect to the effect transition outcome despite there are several critical challenges in transition service  we may call many countries lack of legal framework that mandate comprehensive transition planning even here I'm often where I go are fully implemented for some instant that um any national transition law why do you ask  that's a long a stronger please discipline but incredible implementation especially in the rural and I deserve region challenges this about cross sector this connect transition service as you know multiple stakeholder ecological model that I present earlier that including screw Healthcare and the employment agency but this sector often operate in silo or separately so youth or the children with disability can experience a graph and fall through the gap due to the poor data ching  set up his management lack of corporate operations and create a responsibility a process them so integration of multi-disability approach is very crucial in transition services 1 more thing is structural in equity what does it mean systematics historically and institutional that create and maintain an equal access to resources to upload it and to the right and different in society for example in the majority group particularly like children with intellectual disability development disability all autism the first a systemic barrier and also student of color orders from low income receive also low expectation by as assessment so crew secret Creations in equities so must be addressed this overlapping this advantage based on my review and experiences in the past decade I found some string and also but many challenge in transition service in society developing and developed country as I may show you some case in each country as you know we have a good law or like a progressive or smart block including rosin with disability Improvement Act and also the education provision Act for a person with disability the year 2008 however the implementation is uneven and effectiveness there is no Central statements concerning transition service in this law transition service also prior vocational outcome  Maine and psychological support nio like autistic autistic High valuation more Christian Foundation or the and like humanity and inclusion organization try to help fill that Gap but rural and urban disparity persist or still exist like the case in Saudi Arabia so the Arabia we organize but lack of enforcement ITP uh individual transition plan and vocational training is of limited to so right so type typical  family uh a group from the planning teacher report a lack of training and resources equally the outside major city like Malaysia man is your face similar challenges there are no centralized mandate and transition for service job coaching has been initiated but there is no longer a service residents often access screw without game prior uh reluctant too high without structure and systemic support the chip between NGO and school and school potential but they are not widespread enough another cares like Brazil  browser you adolescent InFocus program integrate that functional scale emotional developments and identity explorations use or children enter in conversation about autonomy sexuality and carry 3 support and they have recent professional who design plan  family this model psychology psychosocial holistic approach but this situation is an initiative projects and small scale no policy has been launched widely yes another thing another case study is the story in term of the let's talk and take a look at the case in United States this provide a strong which is relative model through the workforce innovation and of the ACT that in it in the year 2014 this act require a vocational rehabilitation agency to provide to our with this subverting it from 14 to 21 that Define as a transition services this service include a job exploration work based learning Pro secondly counseling readiness train and sell at mukazi instruction this also showed that work based learning experience such as internship and support employment are the most impact for children with this budget in term of transition services however implementation vary widely across the state  in some cases or some state school and Vocational agency collaborate effectively why do you said or places service are delayed and limited so see that with significant support needs as those intellectual of multiple disability uh often please despite this Gap a good part that is the US case Highline the potentiam bit of Lolli mandate and also early in transition service so it show us what possible which strong legal backing but also remind us the need for Equity forecast implementation now another challenge or other challenge my so far all many things that I met uh not step in this today and document the family of in administrative challenge including the Chrome application process and lengthy at for their kid or children service now we especially oronsay English speaker orders in poverty many drop out before accessing need support there is an urgent for simplifying Hardware and we informations about my speaking who am I speaking earlier I reflect that even through there are some in transition service for children with disability or speech you need but there are many challenges or problem surrounding this issue including the policy Gap and in equity that I mentioned earlier so How We Do It the challenge definitely um I or you or we can find the meeting solution but these are my individual perspective based on empirical document and experiences I try to figure out or sum up at least the 8 key solution for addressing the challenge  is about Challenge and family engagement parents uh an officially doing the job of managing all services and support  for the Chinese and also that mean current often become default  orator of service misplaced emotional and fun and Financial straight but to use our children themselves uh often across from the meeting or decision  the involvement of the Jews or children with disability can improve the outcome to keep like em determine in the case study help build the confidence why the family inclusive practice strengthen  the transition plan the second things is about model framework promising model include mint or monthly disciplinary intervention you will get a and ICF best model so this Frameworks integrate physical educational location on it like your brother Brown quality of life domain may offer be Beyond deployment that mean the model help us to get to know all aspect for person with disability in transition service not only call it education employment but also other aspect of quality of life it is be creation how really and social integration  the US Workforce innovation Opportunity Act emphasize the pre-employment transition service this is this example that's more effective in United States that focus on work based learning and job exploration a particularly effectively however viewed with comprar need from the underserved region so equity in service provision is still critical  visit by the Luis and the team highlight the soft skills such as asking for help receiving feedback program should be modular and flexible and integrating the real world situation or simulation employer where you this skill I mean soft skill last month technical or Carrier ability so not just a technical career but soft skills are very important in transition program so it's not be reflect is the module and uh daily login workplace as well  is about faculty the case study from the Saudi Arabia how why the faculty support  in inclusive transition many to initially  there is into is in for Student Center approach but the real implementation request system that is support training incentive Improvement the sick is also very important for the the concern is about competent in planning effective transition planning must be how July responsive in many Society family Hunter Independence and family Norm may affect what autonomy means for person with disability also transition service should in balance your respect tradition or the culture so educator the teacher okay training in culturally competent is essential as well for example in many Thai family and like Eastern culture the decision making is collective that mean a group not only by who's in with somebody and tell right transitions go just as living independently or choosing 1 own carrier my class or conflict current or how the expectation right that emphasize enough protection or over protection or maybe more cat giving uh they need a local employment for example it may not be culturally acceptable for with disability particularly Frozen or a young woman with disability  relocate  you know uh to get from their family or her family for education and employment that you can see some we suggest parent that they say no they want to allow tested and to you know involve or to enroll in those screw all uh employment training that so uh  the training should include strategy for building uh negotiating expectation and how uh how uh like accommodating in culturally sensitive manner especially with a rural or low-income family who have uh less exposed to the right or inclusive education model another thing is about data and accountability yes I can say that right without the knowledge without the data we can improve what does it mean the few country systemic colleague the transition outcome and eyu program validate for example in the research article  the 2 light transition kill on the tram or transition Q is mean I can you call in meaningful and the cycle  they call me calling this scale can be used in research in the like a children and Adolescent Clinic to help evaluate grading for transition with that mean that it can help assess Readiness and track service longitudinally so this information feedback have a feedback loop into a accountability and continued Improvement 1 challenge there are many Society maybe include in Thailand you know uh uh that the people often prefer to follow  for establish exist practice uh or like a template rather than ink the data collection by themselves or creating by themselves evaluation 2 unify the way to improve so as a result there might be a lack of feedback loop and that ensure accountability and promote continuance Improvement finally is about the government and Society role problem is and Society role government legally mandate ITP for individual transition plan and provide training for implementation please cross 6 uh sector of transitions  especially in rural area and maybe you find targeted intervention for the growth all and the minority or the use with high support they're very important so evaluation must include and family wise as well well now I would like to give my like my final speech on the pink concern  transitions with is not merely a service YouTube TV but it is social contract this emphasized that transition planning is not just a technical or educational process but it is a moral and Collective responsibility Chair by screw share by family by government and also Society together a social contract in Prime Mutual of operation belonging Society on the young people not only an education but a pathway to a full participation in a d life and also return that people the young children young people with disability contribute their talent and ability to their community and also Society the second concern all use or children with disability must be prepared for the life after school regardless of their ability and background this call for Equity driving transition planning that actively address systemic value that I mentioned earlier good with disability particularly good for low like low income family ethnic minority uh in the rural area  often double or maybe multiple disadvantage maternal life by both disability and social conditions so routing them and the I would like to say that let commit the policy and fix it practice that uphold dignity inclusion and opportunity this may call to action for educator policy maker for practitioner to go beyond and adopt where you  approach again transition service is more than preparing you or children with disability right but it is about belonging purposes and contribution when Society in bless this as a check commitment not just an Institutional life not just an incisional obligation transform meaningful  children or to use with disability ultimately thank you for your attention  thank you very much for your outstanding being presentation thank you very much and right now we are here from the president of so this is your first day about the presentation of penis of a results on the

most most of them is uh mostly in the female 63% followed by the male and lgbtq foreign small group and when we focus on the  we have the over 50 years old in the super stand followed by the 40 40

Thailand mostly in the Bank call for  so 34% followed by this intern 21% North North East and so we in the question now we have the 4 question to ask the lesson then and that be the first question is what factor do the public believe would be this question is received a better education anyone else in this room want to answer this question what do you think what is the further do the public believe what the hell she did with the patient needs to receive a better education do you have any do you have a do you have uh do you want to answer the question or so the police out okay the Lange 1

spiritual needs and University and education instill and the key to training teachers and talents and the government of prioritized uh it should be the developing and effective early screening and interventions system this power affect us at a special education is a chariots um societal responsibility not only in the family tissue the education institution but also to work together with of them and government and institution must prioritize training Martin Illinois understanding that with this question is and earn it a far too special education who's your father doing inequality for
