Supporting Independent Lives: A Workshop for Families of Transition-Age Youth with Disabilities

The Boston Center for Independent Living and Partners for Youth with Disabilities invite you to an online workshop for youth with disabilities and their parents and other family members. We will discuss how to support youths in their transition to adulthood, the services available to them, how to build a support system, and getting students involved in their IEP process. We will also answer questions relating to independent living and what PYD and BCIL can offer to students right now and when they are adults.

Date: Wednesday, November 19th, 2025

Time: 6:30-7:30 PM

Virtual: On Zoom

Eligibility: Parents, family members, educators and friends of youth/young adults with disabilities are welcome to attend. The workshop will focus on transition aged youth (14-21) as well as adult services available once students graduate and turn 22. Youth themselves are also welcome to attend.
