Gwinnett County Public Schools is sponsoring a Transition Fair for students with special needs and their families.
The fair is to help patrons learn about services and programs to prepare students for the move from high school to adulthood. The event is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Peachtree Ridge High School, 1555 Old Peachtree Road in Suwanee.
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss employment and educational options with agency representatives in the areas of employment support, residential services, day-habilitation programs, recreation and leisure, and assistive technology. They also can meet with members of other organizations that offer support. In addition, participants can attend breakout sessions to learn more about topics such as Medicaid waivers, Social Security income, financial planning and guardianship, transition planning and employment support options, among other topics.
