TALENT DISCOVERY OFFERINGS
I offer Talent Discovery sessions to help uncover a young person’s natural gifts and abilities. Once these are recognized, new and exciting possibilities open up for careers and meaningful ways they can use their gifts in the community as the young person transitions into adulthood.
How it works
In the second half, we brainstorm types of continuing education, training and career paths that match the young person’s natural talents and interests. We network within the group to identify professionals in those fields who the young person can connect with.
These perspectives help the young person learn more about who they are as a unique, individual with skills to contribute to society and open up new possibilities for their future.

Jan Hollenbeck
Coordinator of Secondary Transition and Related Services, Medford Public SchoolsEmily’s charismatic personality and her affinity for focusing on the positive swept me off my feet. I wanted in. And I wanted Joe to be able to experience the feeling of excitement and empowerment I was feeling. After all, this was about him in his transition period of his education. Emily has made all the difference in our lives, and most importantly in Joe’s.

ParentEmily’s approach to transition planning, student determination and support for each student/young adult’s personal vision for the future is rooted in a “Talent Discovery” process – an organic, illuminating, hopeful collaborative and inspiring person-centered experience that takes “invisible’ gifts, strengths, talents and assets and makes them tangibly “visible” for the student’s transition into adulthood.
