Adults with Autism in the News

NEW: Join the Conversation for Change!  

Members of the public are invited to participate in an online dialogue to examine the impact of existing federal regulations and legislation on the successful transition from school to work of youth and young adults with disabilities. The U.S. Departments of Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services and the Social Security Administration will host the event May 13-27 and invite you to join this conversation to improve transition outcomes.
