What is

Youth Development?

A big part of transition planning is making decisions about your life and how you want to accomplish your goals. But, sometimes it can be hard to figure out the best way to get all the things that we want and need.

If you understand your strengths, preferences, personality, disability and what you’re interested in, it’s a lot easier to set goals for your future and to ask others to help you reach them!
