Holding The Compass: A Family Guide To The Transition Years
When your child with a disability approaches adulthood, your role as a parent or guardian shifts in new and sometimes unexpected ways. This six-part series is built to support families through the transition years with encouragement, actionable steps, and fresh ways to imagine what’s next. Sessions will help parents and guardians understand the adult service system in New Jersey, explore inclusive college options, balance advocacy with fostering independence, navigate SSI/Medicaid while supporting employment, and make informed choices about guardianship and alternatives. Just as importantly, you’ll learn how to prepare yourself emotionally and practically for the changes these years bring. Whether you’re just beginning to think about transition or already in the thick of it, this series will give you strategies and reassurance to move forward with confidence.
