Join Judy Shanley, Director of Student Engagement and Mobility Management with Easter Seals, in this webinar and learn how you can work with pupil transportation and public transportation professionals to build a continuum of accessible transportation options to support students with disabilities in their transition to employment, higher education, and independent living.

  • Integrating transportation topics in IEPs and transition planning;
  • Building connections across pupil and public transportation to support student transition;
  • Leveraging transportation resources to support student transition, especially in rural communities; and
  • Having a voice in building transportation systems

 

Presenter:

Judy Shanley, Ph.D. is the Director, Student Engagement & Mobility Management at Easter Seals Transportation Group and provides technical assistance, conducts research, and develops informational products regarding accessible transportation for students with disabilities. She has conducted over fifty national and international workshops on building continuums of transportation service across educators, pupil transporters, and public transit professionals.  Most recently, Shanley developed an online curriculum for educators, families, human services professionals, and transit to facilitate knowledge and skill around coordinated transportation systems. She serves as Project Director of national centers, funded by the US Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration, and the US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living. In these roles, Shanley manages work related to building inclusive coordinated transportation infrastructures that are responsive to the needs of people with disabilities, older adults, and others who need transportation supports.

 

Prior to this, Shanley worked at the US Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and the Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE). She helped identify evidence-based practices and assisted educators in implementing capacity-building systems. At OPE, Shanley had a key role in carrying out the provisions of the Higher Education Opportunity Act which provided opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities to attend postsecondary education. During her Federal service, Shanley served on several interagency committees pertinent to youth transition, disability research, and transportation.

 

Shanley earned her Ph.D. in Special Education from the University of Florida and an M.B.A. and a Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling, both from Syracuse University.
