SUMMARY:Transition Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:  \nTransition Lunch and Learn is held on the second Thursday of the month\, facilitated by Diane Monnig\, Director of Programs. These sessions are not recorded. \nPlanning to transition from school to adult services can be overwhelming. Once your child exits the school system\, adult services are based on eligibility criteria and funding availability. These small group sessions are an opportunity to begin creating a plan for the future. Learn what employment and meaningful day support services are available\, how to explore post-secondary options\, what transportation supports exist\, how to help your child make decisions and advocate\, when to apply for SSI and manage benefits\, and what recreation activities are available. This informal opportunity is to ask questions and discuss with the facilitator and other participants. \n\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:Transition Series: The Dani Plan
DESCRIPTION:A few years ago\, Dani Plan founders\, Joel and Debbie Pearlman\, started talking about a sad inevitable: If something were to happen to them\, who would take care of their daughter? And how would that person possibly know all the little nuances that make her who she is? With that\, they tried their best to document Dani’s life\, but information was scattered across phones\, computers and files\, and some details were only in their minds. Realizing there had to be a better way to ensure others could care for Dani\, Joel and Debbie set out to build a tool that would not only ensure a seamless transition\, but also serve as an essential resource for everyday life. From there\, the Dani Plan was born\, bringing them – and so many others – a deep sense of comfort and confidence. Join Joel Pearlman as he discusses the Dani Plan and how it can support your loved one. \nPart of our 2026 Transition Series \n\n					\n				Register Now
