📣 Upcoming Transition Planning Workshops – January 2026

Lexington Public Schools is launching a series of transition planning workshops to support families as students prepare for the move from adolescence to adulthood.

These sessions will share valuable information, resources, and guidance around transition-age planning, adult services, employment supports, and independent living — with time built in for Q&A.

🗓 First two workshops in the series:

🔹 Friday, January 16 (Virtual)
A conversation with MassAbility and Northeast Independent Living Program, focused on vocational supports, Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS), and resources for transition-age youth and young adults.

🔹 Thursday, January 29 (In Person)
An informational session on the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), covering eligibility, youth and adult services, the 688 process, and supports for families planning for adulthood.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 These sessions are especially relevant for families of middle school, high school, and transition-age students, but all LPS families are welcome.
