MOVING ON TO LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY RESOURCE FAIR

Thursday, November 19, 2026

Fairfax High School     6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

This event is designed for students with more significant disabilities and their families to meet with adult agency and vendor representatives to gather information about available services for adults in need of ongoing support once they transition from FCPS. The Moving on to Life in the Community exhibitor fair will introduce and connect families and students with IEPs to adult service providers and community supports (ex. DARS, CSB, SSI/SSDI, supported employment assistance, day support programs, travel training services, social clubs, behavioral supports, residential services, Medicaid, etc.) upon exiting the school system.  Agency and vendor representatives will be available to share information on adult service providers, employment and training programs, residential options, leisure activities, and self-advocacy during this exhibitor fair.
