If you support a young adult with a disability, the transition from school to adult services can feel overwhelming.
In this week's episode, I break down one of my favorite tools: The Arc of Massachusetts Transition Timeline—a resource that takes a truly holistic approach from ages 13 to 22.
I share what I found most helpful, what I wish the handout included, and how our family navigated key milestones like person-centered planning, travel training, adult service referrals, and preparing for life after public school.
