Prince George's County Transitioning Youth Information Site


People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) may need extra support or skill-building to live full, meaningful, and connected adult lives. This can make the transition to adulthood very complex for youth with ID/DD and their families.


The Prince George's Transitioning Youth Committee aims to improve transition planning for Prince George's youth with ID/DD. It brings together students, family members, and people who work in education, employment, and adult services. They work together to improve and simplify the transition planning process by promoting integrated transition planning.


Integrated transition planning is when youth with ID/DD, their family members and service providers thoughtfully map out and prepare for the youth’s life as an adult.  It integrates planning for the youth’s education, work, and healthcare to achieve their goals as an adult. Ideally, this planning occurs throughout childhood with more focused planning as the child becomes a teen.


This website offers resources and supports for youth with disabilities transitioning into adulthood.
