An informative event to help young people with disabilities transition from high school into adult life, independence, and a chosen vocation.

SSD's FACE (Family and Community Engagement) is excited to host our annual Family Academy!

Families can join us at Neuwoehner High School on Saturday, February 24, 2024, from 9 AM to noon, for interactive classes, community vendors, networking opportunities, music, light refreshments, and fun learning! Sessions will include ways to support your student with literacy, math, self-determination at all ages, social-emotional learning, and transition support within school settings and beyond.
