Each year, The Family Café brings together individuals with varying types of disabilities and their families to participate in a 3- day event full of learning, training, and networking with others. Participants will have the option of attending the Exhibit Hall with vendors providing important information and materials to help families and individuals with disabilities.

The HDS Foundation members are preparing to attend this year’s 23rd Annual Family Café from June 11-13 in Orlando, FL. We are eager to be a part of the conference, as we will be presenting a recorded session on: “Preparing Families for Transition.” This session will provide details and resources that will help smooth the transition of your child from middle and high school to their post-secondary journey. You won’t want to miss this valuable information!

Webinar

Workplace Accommodations for Transition-age Youth

PACER CENTER

Check out PACER Center Webinar that focuses on workplace accommodations, including what counts as an accommodation and how to ask for one, what to so when an employer asks for more information, and what to do if an employer says no.

At HDS our goal is to facilitate opportunities that may be available by leveraging education, experience and skills learned by participants with available business resource. The diversity of this population can provide different paths to embark on, one of them being finding a job after high school and steering away from the traditional (college) higher education.
