The Everyday Lives Advisory Committee in Delaware County Pennsylvania has a meeting planned for January 19, 2011 at 12 noon to 2pm. It will be held at the Delaware County Intermediate Unit Building, 200 Yale Avenue, Morton PA. (Any weather alerts about the closing of the Delaware County Intermediate Unit will result in the cancellation and rescheduling of this meeting). This meeting will be helpful to families with adult sons and daughters or for families facing future planning needs. It will also be helpful to students about to graduate, educators or anyone in the community who supports individuals with disabilities.
The speaker at this meeting will be Catherine Friedman from Residential Living Options who will discuss living options for adults with additional needs and how to meet them. Her creative approach has helped many families successfully make this transition. She also can provide you with many resources on transition planning. Kathryn Vecchione will be a featured speaker. She has successfully lived in her own apartment for two years and will give a personal perspective on independent living and how it has effected her life.
Please join us and give us your personal perspective on independent living.
