ResourcesTransitioning from high school to adult life can seem like an overwhelming process for students with disabilities and their families.
The Federation’s Transition project, REAL Transition, connects youth and young adults with disabilities of transition age (14-26) and their families to information and support as they plan for productive, independent, and meaningful adult lives.
The REAL Transition project works with the Parent Training Information Center (PTIC) to provide trainings to teach parents how to navigate the post-secondary transition process, how to ask the right questions, and how to find the answers they need.
We can also provide families and professionals with information and resources about employment, post-secondary education, and community living through calls to our Information Center.
