Independent/community living comes with certain safety risks. During this session, participants will learn how those risks can be reduced with appropriate planning, communication, and education, starting during transition in high school. Individuals with disabilities, their families and local First Responder entities need to be on the same page when it comes to living safely in the community which requires thoughtful planning and open communication. Participants will leave the session with the knowledge of what help might be needed in an emergency, along with the transition skills that should carry over into community living - both at home and on the job.
