Pathways to Adult Life

Pathways to Adult Life is dedicated to the needs of children between the ages of 14 and 19. This session is produced through collaboration between DDD, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DVRS), the Department of Education (DOE), the Division of Disability Services (DDS), and the Boggs Center. The purpose of this training is to assist students and their families with making informed choices during the transition process from school to adult life. At these sessions, a representative from each agency provides an overview of responsibilities and their services to transitioning students. Families have an opportunity to meet their local contact representatives and follow-up with individual concerns.
