The transition from school age to adulthood for individuals with autism can feel like falling off a cliff, as support and services become significantly limited. ELIJA is here to guide you through this critical stage.

If you're an advocate, attorney, educator, agency representative, school professional, parent, grandparent, or sibling navigating the shift from school-based services to adult support, this conference is for you!

Key discussion topics include the transition process, self-direction, housing options (self-directed and certified group homes), special needs trusts, guardianship, and much more.

This valuable information applies to individuals with autism as well as those with other developmental disabilities.

Note: Self-Direction/IDGS funding may be available. For more details, email debatelija [dot] org.
