Hello! My name is Adam Garfinkel and I am the Transition Coordinator at the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf. I graduated with B.S. and MSW from the State University of New York at the College of Buffalo and Stony Brook University.  In addition, I also earned a Master of Science in Secondary Education (MSSE) for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing from the National Technical Institute of the Deaf in 2004.  I was born deaf to a hearing family and grew up in Oceanside, New York.   

I have been with the Transition Department since 2009.  I really enjoy working with students (grades 8-­12) and their families.   One of my primary roles as a Transition Coordinator is to focus on helping students to be successful academically, emotionally, and socially­ both in school and in life so that they can succeed in their transition from school to college and/or work.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any assistance.
