Pathways to Independence: Transition and Resource Fair for Life After High School
Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 1600 - 1700
Community Based Services (CBS), in partnership with Dutchess County and Think Differently, will be hosting a Transition Fair on November 6, 2024, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at Rhinebeck High School. Families with students of all ages in Dutchess County and the surrounding areas who have IEPs and 504 Plans are invited to attend and learn about opportunities and resources available to them as they begin to plan for the next chapter of their children's lives.
Community organizations will be available to help families learn about opportunities and steps involved with the process of planning for life after high school, including:
-Transition Planning Services
-OPWDD and Care Management
-Career and Job Services
-Day Programs
-College and Continuing Education Programs
-Guardianship
-And more!
While at the fair, families can choose to register for CBS's transition planning support program. The program, for students with disabilities, offers families a streamlined process of learning about transition planning, community resources, OPWDD eligibility, and supports available after graduation.
"Transition planning can be overwhelming, and many families don't know what options are available for their children or what services they will be eligible to receive. The CBS transition coordinator assists students and caregivers in navigating the systems of care to meet transition goals. The program aims to increase awareness of options for career and vocational pursuits, higher education aspirations, day programs, and resources available to individuals with disabilities in Dutchess County and the surrounding areas, making sure every student has the supports they want and need to reach their goals and achieve their dreams," says Transition Coordinator Jennifer Havrilla.
The Transition Fair is paid for in part by Dutchess County through an agency partner grant.
