During transition planning, the partnerships formed between the family and the school are essential to post-high school success, and family involvement must be prioritized (Kellems & Morningstar, 2010). When family members (i.e., siblings) are involved in transition planning, the comprehensive understanding of the transition-aged youth is enhanced (e.g., Seltzer et. al., 2005). Siblings fulfill beneficial roles within the family unit, and their involvement in transition planning and partnership with their sibling’s teacher can promote positive post-school outcomes in the areas of employment, education, independent living, and more. This poster presentation will discuss what a sibling-teacher partnership is and it’s importance. Moreover, the development and administration of a scale assessing the sibling-teacher partnership will be highlighted. Attendees at this poster presentation will learn ways to support the sibling-teacher partnership for transition-aged youth and family members.
