Life Skills Training: Services are designed to assist individuals in gaining the skills necessary to live independently in the community. Transition Services:
Youth: These services provide support and guidance to students transitioning from school to adult life with a strong emphasis on employment.

NEW: 9 U.S. states are suing the federal government to fight the "integration mandate," which allows people with disabilities to receive services in the community rather than in institutions. If they are successful, more people with disabilities may be forced into institutions, when they can and want to live in the community instead. The disability community has fought long and hard for strong disability rights laws, and we cannot allow them to be weakened.
