LOOKING AHEAD:
SAT. March 20 - 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. “From School to an Integrated Adult Life in the Community….Transition with Appropriate Funding,” presented by Marilyn and Joe Henn.
at Oak Park and River Forest High School, 201 N. Scoville, Oak Park. In order to attend this FREE workshop, please RSVP by MON. MARCH 15, to Leah Carlin lcarlin@oprfhs.org or 708-434-3108.
The transition from school to adult life in the community can be a daunting undertaking for individuals with disabilities, their families and those professionals trying to help them and may result in sub-optimal outcomes due to funding issues. The approach that offers the greatest chance for success involves whole life planning for employment, residence and recreation & leisure coupled with financial planning to seek the needed resources to provide the needed supports in areas from direct care staffing, transportation and “cost to live” items. For a schedule of the day, please click here.
