The Current Problem:

• The pandemic put off in-person training and support

• General lack of functional transition training and skill development in high school

• Limited time! You are a busy and engaged caregiver with a finite amount of time.

 

The Solution:

• A trained transition specialist leading your loved one in teaching transition skills
