Flyer for “Building What’s Next: A Five-Part Virtual Transition Series,” presented by The Arc of Illinois and Family Matters Parent Training & Information Center. The virtual series takes place Mondays in November from 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Transition planning can bring a lot of questions. What is PUNS? What waiver services are available? When should planning begin? How can students take a more active role in shaping their future?

Join The Arc of Illinois and Family Matters Parent Training & Information Center for Building What’s Next: A Five-Part Virtual Transition Series designed to help families strengthen their knowledge of transition services and explore options for the future.

- November 2: Introduction to PUNS
- November 9: Transition Timeline: Building a Plan that Works
- November 16: Know Your Options: Waiver Services
- November 23: Charting the LifeCourse: An Introduction to Student-Centered Planning

Whether you are just beginning transition planning or already navigating the process, this series is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, explore options, and build a stronger plan for what comes next.
Attend one session or join us for all five!
