> Transition Stories for a New Resource Guide
>
> The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy
> is  working on a publication. It will be a complete transition guide
> for youth and
> young adults (ages 14-25) with
>
> disabilities moving from high school to post-secondary settings. These
> settings could include
>  full-time jobs, vocational training (being an apprentice), service,
> internships; and junior college and university settings.
>
> Since experiences are a great way to learn, they are collecting
> stories from youth and young adults with disabilities about their
> transition experiences.
> They are reaching out to youth across the country and asking you to share:
>
> 1 your aspirations and dreams;
> 2. your learned strategies to navigate different systems;
> 3. what supports helped you make your transitions.
>
> This project is open to youth with different types of disabilities,
> from all backgrounds, and from all across the country!
