Transition, From Graduation to Adult Life

To meet the needs of individuals with disabilities more efficiently, DDD is partnering with other state agencies to provide current Transition-related information. This information is geared specifically to individuals, and their families, who will graduate from the education system in the coming year . The Transition program is called Pathways to Adult Life .

Pathways to Adult Life is a team effort! The agencies that are coordinating their expertise to provide information for the Transitioning population are:

• DVRS (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services)
• DDS (Division of Disability Services)
• DOE (Department of Education-Office of Special Education)
• DDD (Division of Developmental Disabilities)
• The Boggs Center – which is NJ's University Center for Excellence at UMDNJ

 

Workshop and Educational Forums:

To learn more about Pathways to Adult Life , you are encouraged to attend Workshop and Educational Forums. For more information or help regarding these workshops and forums, please call the Family Support Center of New Jersey @ 1 (800) 372-6510 or you may register online at www.fscnj.org .
