Transition to Adulthood Training Opportunities

March 13, 2026

The Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council is working with Team Dynamics on a project to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities get ready for adult life.

These workshops are for young people with disabilities who are getting ready to work, and for family members who are helping plan for the future. The sessions will include hands on activities, real life examples, and helpful resources you can take home. The goal is to help everyone feel more confident about the move into adulthood. There will be two training sessions to choose from.

You can find more details in the flyer below. When you sign up, be sure to select the session or sessions you want to attend. The trainings are free, but you must register in advance. Space is limited, so sign up soon!
