In the 3rd Transition Talks workshop in our 2023 – 24 series, learn all about housing. We introduce families to various housing models for young adults, talk about section 8 housing and shared living. We’ll go over questions such as “Where will my adult child live after high school?” and “What type of housing should we plan for?”

These workshops are open to families from across the country. Throughout the year, we’re tackling robust topics including the self-determined IEP, housing options, college pathways for young adults with disabilities, state and federal benefits, guardianship, financial and legal planning and more.
