- Are arranged by you, your family, and your transition team.
- Help you learn to get along with others and make connections.
- Build in supports to help you succeed.
- Happen in your community with others.
- Include volunteering and service opportunities.
Community-based experiences result in…
- Developing skills to communicate and get along with others.
- Learning about yourself so that you can plan for work, school, and being part of your community after high school.
