The Wisconsin Transition Planning Coalition finds ways for youth with disabilities to get better information about healthcare, education, and employment services. Having this information can make the transition to adulthood easier.
The Coalition meets online for 90 minutes every other month through August 2024. At these meetings, members share updates and ideas. They also plan and provide input on the Project’s transition improvement efforts.
The group is made up of:
- Youth and adults with ID/DD, family members, and self-advocacy organizations
- State partners
- Education, healthcare, & wellness organizations
- Non-profit community-based service agencies
- Employment resources, including local businesses
New members welcome – contact Nicole Brys for more information.
