This tool aims to assist families in navigating the complexities of the transition process. Martha shares her background, her dedication to education advocacy, and how her personal experience as a mother of a child with Down syndrome has  influenced her work. She also discusses her plans to expand the available resources and exciting future developments. Join the conversation!
