SHIFT is a free interactive training for families and youth with disabilities ages 14-21 who are navigating the transition to adulthood.

About this event

All local and state COVID protocols will be followed.

Join us as we explore person-centered planning and learn about the transition process, Vocational Rehabilitation services, Independent Living Centers, Medicaid waivers and so much more. Families and youth will leave with a plan outlining next steps for their transition from high school to adult life.
