About the Webinar:

This Webinar will provide an overview of a paper written by AUCD members who seek to engage in conversations about improving interdisciplinary and interagency collaboration in supporting self-determined transition of youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities to adulthood and to community life. As youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities leave school, they will face an array of decisions about transition including school to work or postsecondary education, family home to community living, and pediatric to adult health care. These youth should have choices in self-determined transitions with coordinated support from family, community, professionals, and agencies. However, youth and their families often experience very little choice, control, or collaboration from the myriad of systems to which they look for transition services and supports.
