Supporting children and adolescents with learning disabilities is critical to our mission. Our support for teaching transition planning skills for high school-age students with an LD is crucial. LDA CT is working to partner with various agencies and organizations to provide opportunities for students to get a head start on preparing for vocational/career and postsecondary education experiences.

LDA CT is in the works of building a partnership with the Department of Aging and Disability Services' Level Up program for high school student.

"Level Up provides students aged 16-21 with the tools, training and resources to work competitively and forge a path to independence. Working together we are building relationships with schools, families and the community and have created a collaborative partnership that introduces students who have an IEP, 504 plan or related challenges to new possibilities. Our goal is to help students be prepared to go out and find their place in the world." (ADS)
