Upcoming free Transition Lunch and Learn by Arc of NoVA on 6/11:
The Arc of NoVA online “Transition Lunch & Learn” on Thursday,
June 11th from noon to 1pm. Transition Lunch and Learn is held on the second Thursday of the month, facilitated by Diane Monnig, Director of Programs. These sessions are not recorded. Planning 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. All of our webinar events are FREE to attend, but pre-registration is required at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/QCxxcoCvTyqBDIdVA4VAUQ #/registration
