We’ve heard from our families that the transition to adulthood for their loved ones with Down syndrome can be a challenging time as they navigate resources and options. So, we attended recent Transition Fairs across the state to share what we can do to help. These fairs are for students with disabilities to connect with organizations like us. Thank you to DSADE staff Jess and Nancy, as well as self-advocate Lauren, for representing the DSADE at these events and sharing information about our social programs, classes, and outreach resources. Are you looking for information about the transition to adulthood? Please reach out to info@dsadelaware.org so we can support you!
