Project Description:

The Bridges Training Program is a college and career training series for young adults aged 18-24 with intellectual disabilities. It is currently offered online, with four trainings designed to prepare young adults with intellectual disabilities for higher education, independent living, and careers. The four trainings consist of: Academic and Assistive Technology, Setting & Realizing Goals Using Person-Centered Planning, Healthy & Social Aspects of Life, and Next Steps in Person-Centered Planning. The Bridges Program gives young adults with intellectual disabilities a chance to learn about who they are, connect with other young adults, learn about resources they can use to explore life after high school, and think about their future.
