Jefferson City Public Schools, Vocational Rehabilitation (VR), Missouri Rehabilitation and Employment Group (MORE), and Independent Living Resource Center, Inc. (ILRC) recently partnered on April 24, 2014 to host the first Cole County Resource (transitions) Fair for youth with disabilities and their families at the Jefferson City High School Media Center.
By attending this fair, youth with disabilities and their families and professionals realized an opportunity to network and gain more understanding of the wide array of opportunities and services available within the area. The participants had the chance to meet with resources that can strengthen plans for transition from high school realizing the goal to connect students and their families with community resources that are essential for the future.
If there will be a high-school youth with a disability, regardless of level of disability, in your network for the 2014 / 2015 school year please visit ILRC’s website at www.ilrcjcmo.org to sign up for updates regarding youth events including the next Transitions Resource Fair in your area.
