This Collaborative Partners podcast series provides a platform to continue the discussion around supporting our Special Programs families and enhancing educational experiences for every student. Our goal is to bring together voices and insights that empower families and foster collaboration among key stakeholders in the journey toward a meaningful future.

Leander ISD’s Special Programs Parent Liaison, Ashley Anderson, is joined by Rob Snyder, Vocational Adjustment Coordinator at Rouse, for a conversation about getting students ready for future employment opportunities.

Ashley starts by asking Rob to share a little about himself and his roles in the  district (00:46). Later, they have a conversation centered around:
