STUDENTS & FAMILIES

It may seem like it is a long way off, but sooner than you think, the bus will stop coming, and you will no longer be going to school during the day. As you enter your teenage years, it's time to consider the future and your independence. Have you thought about what you will do during the day when school ends? Have you talked about what you want to do with your parents/family? What kind of changes might this mean? Does your transition plan include work, volunteer experience, or college and what living situation is best? What steps must be taken to achieve the desired outcome? Here you will find the tools to learn more about employment options in your community, plan for continuing education, your safety and legal rights, self-advocacy, independent living options and activities of daily life to ensure you will leave school confidently.
