Supporting Youth with Developmental Disabilities Through Life Transitions
E3 Community Services offers Future Transitions, a support service designed to help youth and young adults (ages 13 to 25) with developmental disabilities transition from school to adulthood. This service aims to provide guidance, resources, and planning to support people as they navigate the shift to post-secondary education, employment, or community living.
Service Details
