This conference is for Kansas youth (ages 14-21) who have disabilities and their families. Educators and others who believe all youth should have the opportunity to work, live, and play in their communities are also welcome to attend.

The training is designed to help youth, their families, and others learn about how to prepare for life after high school.

The conference will include resources and the steps to take before and after leaving school including attending college, employment, and living as independently as possible. Real-life stories will be shared by self-advocates who are following their dreams.

The conference also includes basics about the supports and services available from local workforce centers, vocational rehabilitation agencies, and independent living centers to help youth and families navigate the services they need.
