The free event aims to guide young adults with disabilities and everyone in their support circles as they approach high school graduation and prepare for adult life and independence.
Dr. Jameson is an organizational psychologist who uses her multidisciplinary education and experience as the Managing Partner for grit & flow™. This purpose-driven consultancy provides a gateway to inclusive workplaces and sustainable talent retention. Her team has received numerous grants to train job developers for transition-age individuals on engaging businesses, enhancing long-term relationships, and preparing individuals for successful employment.
Dr. Jameson was voted a Top 50 Neurodiversity Global Evangelist and speaks internationally on Neurodiversity and Mental Health in the Workplace. As a neurodivergent individual, Jameson brings her passion and expertise to foster inclusive environments. She is also a LinkedIn Learning instructor with three courses on neurodiversity, ADHD, and Autism in the workplace.
“Dr. Jameson is an exceptional leader and advocates for inclusive practices, making her the perfect speaker for our conference,” said BCI Chief Program Officer of Employment Services Matt Jannings. “Her insights into neurodiversity and her passion for empowering individuals with disabilities will inspire and resonate with everyone attending. We’re thrilled to have her join us and share her expertise.”
New this year, the conference will also include breakout sessions on public benefits, funding sources, guardianship, and service providers. These sessions will provide a unique opportunity for deeper discussions and personalized Q&A in small, focused groups. Attendees will also have access to an integrated resource fair to connect with agencies offering essential services such as housing, recreation, funding, post-secondary education, and other advisory and advocacy groups.
“Graduating from high school can be a time of excitement but also anxiety for individuals with disabilities and their families,” said BCI CEO Troy Compardo. “The Transition Conference is designed to ease that angst by providing essential resources, guidance, and support to help navigate this critical life stage. Whether you’re seeking answers, connections, or reassurance, this conference offers the tools you need to move forward confidently.”
