Presenter's Bio
For almost 40 years, Michael Laharty has served students with special needs, their families, and the staff who support them. He has been a teacher, mentor,
master teacher, principal, university lecturer, provider of staff development, and a vocational specialist. He is recognized as a statewide leader in providing
transition services for youth with special needs. He coined the phrase “school to world, not just work” as a reminder that successful transition to the adult world
includes post-secondary education and training, independent living, community access and participation, as well as employment. Michael works for the
Sacramento County Office of Education as a Vocational Specialist and lives in Sacramento with his wife and three children.

IT'S NOT WHO YOU KNOW; IT'S HOW YOU TREAT THEM

​
Strands: Transitions, social skills

Social skills are those communication, problem-solving, decision making, self- management, and peer relations abilities that allow one to initiate, build, and
maintain positive social relationships with others. One's social competence is linked to peer acceptance, teacher acceptance, and post school success. These
include post-secondary education and training, employment, independent living, and community access and participation. Deficits in social skills remain high
among the reasons why many students with disabilities have serious difficulties transitioning successfully from “school to the world.”
