The transition to adulthood can be complex and challenging for individuals with any disability. Planning can start as young as 12 and continue throughout adulthood. Connections California, the newest program from Parents Helping Parents – TASK’s fellow Parent Training and Information Center partner in San Jose – is designed to help YOU find the unique resources and critical information you need to create the smoothest transition to adulthood possible alongside your loved one!

In Connections California, you’ll find a comprehensive online hub of content, webinars you can attend, e-learning videos you can watch at your own pace, downloadable e-packets, and more!

Influencing Services from Regional Centers, School Districts, and More

Advocating for our loved ones is very difficult when we do not have the right tools. Join us to learn how to tell your story, how to negotiate for services, how to collaborate with different professionals, how to communicate with the people who make the laws, boards, and committees, and how you can influence public policy.

The State Council will guide us in this training with examples and exercises on how to voice our needs in this hands-on workshop.

This workshop will be simultaneously translated into Spanish and Vietnamese.

Event sponsored in part by the Department of Developmental Services.

Connections California, a project of Parents Helping Parents – Silicon Valley, is made possible thanks to generous support from Santa Clara Family Health Plan.
