Individuals with disabilities of all ages deserve support tailored to their needs and circumstances. Youth-In-Transition services at ILCHV are aimed at advising youth consumers and their families in navigating systems of support and developing self-advocacy skills as a life-long practice.
Youth Transition Advocates are available to advise consumers up to 30 years old about their rights (both legal and educational) and to assist with access to education, employment, and support services.
Currently, Youth Transition Advocates are available to help with: educational and employment goal planning, resume writing, job skills, navigating the IEP process, and applying for state and federal services. Additionally, group programming is being developed to assist youth consumers in a peer setting with achieving their goals. This page will be updated when that group programming begins.
If you want to know more about Youth-In-Transition services for yourself or a family member, reach out to Rose Fallon [hyperlink embed mailto:rfallon@ilchv.org ], Youth Transition Advocate, at (518) 274-0701 extension 1053.
