Event Details

Saturday, April 27
Worcester State University

The Arc of Massachusetts’s biennial Transition Conference is back and better than ever!

The Transition Journeys will feature timely and relevant information about the transition from school programs to adult services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities or autism when they turn 22 years old.

Attendees will learn about transition from experts in Massachusetts services and supports, as well as family members who already have traveled the path. Attendees can choose from a wide variety of panels and breakout sessions, visit resource tables in the exhibit area, and hear opening remarks from speaker Cheryl Ryan Chan.
