 Another Incredible Transition Resource Fair!
Our 26th Annual Snohomish County Developmental Disabilities Transition Resource Fair was a vibrant and inspiring event, bringing hundreds of community members together at our new home – the Lynnwood Event Center. This year also introduced a new afternoon schedule, expanded accessibility supports including interpreter packets and a sensory room, and our largest collection of resource tables yet.
The fair was filled with meaningful conversations, engaged families, and strong community connections. Many attendees joined us for the first time, while others returned for their third, fifth, or even tenth year, creating a wonderful blend of new and familiar faces. Workshops were well attended and highly valued, and participants shared how much they appreciated the resource materials, the welcoming atmosphere, and the opportunity to connect directly with providers.
Nearly all workshop presentations from this year’s fair are available to download as PDFs on our Transition Resource Fair web page through June 10, 2026. You’ll also find additional details about the event, including a full list of participating community agencies and other related updates.
We extend our sincere thanks to every attendee, presenter, volunteer, and partner who helped make this year’s fair such a success. We look forward to welcoming you back next year for another impactful and community‑building event!

Transition Collaborative Listening Sessions
The Transition Collaborative is a partnership between several statewide agencies – including the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), Developmental Disabilities Community Services (DDCS) (formerly DDA), the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), and the Developmental Disabilities Council (DDC). Together, these partners work to improve transition planning for students who receive special education services and who may qualify for supports through DDCS.
Their shared purpose is to support students with disabilities as they move from school into adult services.
The Transition Collaborative focuses on three main goals:
- Reviewing and recommending resources for school districts to strengthen transition planning for students with disabilities across Washington State
- Reducing gaps in services as students move from school to post‑school life
- Developing recommendations that help students with disabilities – and their families, stakeholders, and service providers – navigate the transition process successfully
In May 2024, the Washington State Legislature passed Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5253, which extended special education eligibility to age 22 and directed the submission of an updated report on transition services by October 2026.
To support this work, the Transition Collaborative will be holding listening sessions to gather community input for the October 2026 report. If you are a student, family member, advocate, educator, or administrator, your perspective is needed.

April is Month of the Military Child
The U.S. Department of Defense celebrates military children throughout the month of April. More than 1.6 million military children experience unique challenges and opportunities because of their parent’s service. Month of the Military Child honors these military‑connected children and highlights the important role they play in the armed forces community.
Washington ranks sixth in the nation for the number of active‑duty service members and is home to many families enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP). The EFMP is a service‑wide program that supports Service Members and their families who have medical or educational needs. Learn more about the Exceptional Family Member Program on the official website.
Snohomish County is home to Naval Station Everett, which has an EFMP Liaison who helps families navigate schools and community systems when their loved one is enrolled in the program.
To learn more, visit the Month of the Military Child Resource Toolkit from the Military Child Education Coalition.
Celebrate Autism Acceptance Month!
“The world needs different kinds of minds to work together.” – Temple Grandin
April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to recognize the strengths and contributions of Autistic individuals. This year’s global observance aligns with the United Nations’ 2026 theme, “Autism and Humanity – Every Life Has Value,” which emphasizes dignity, inclusion, and full participation in community life.
Snohomish County also recognizes World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, joining the international effort to promote understanding and meaningful acceptance.
Sno‑Isle Libraries highlights that Autism Acceptance Month goes beyond awareness. It encourages genuine inclusion and appreciation of Autistic perspectives. As Christopher Banks of the Autism Society of America notes, “Awareness is knowing that somebody has Autism – acceptance is when you include a person with Autism in your activities.”
Throughout April, local organizations and libraries will share resources and opportunities to support connection, learning, and community engagement.
Explore Sno‑Isle Libraries’ Autism Acceptance Month events and community activities on their website.
Learn more about the Ed Wiley Autism Acceptance Lending Library, available online and in person in Stanwood.
The Marysville Police Department is also showing support this month by wearing blue badges to promote understanding and unity with autistic community members, and you can view their full post on Facebook here.
The TODAY Show also spotlighted autism this month through an interview with author Woody Brown, whose Read With Jenna book‑club selection brings greater visibility and understanding to autistic experiences. You can watch the full segment here.
April Marks Arab American Heritage Month
National Arab American Heritage Month (NAAHM) is observed each April as a time to honor and celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Arab Americans. First recognized at the federal level in 2021, the month has since been acknowledged by Congress, the U.S. Department of State, and dozens of state and local governments across the country. Today, more than four million Arab Americans help shape the political, economic, scientific, and cultural fabric of the United States.
This April, Snohomish County once again joins communities nationwide in recognizing Arab American Heritage Month and celebrating the diverse experiences and achievements of Arab Americans who call our region home.
Read Resolution No. 26‑008 from the Snohomish County Council declaring April 2026 as Arab American Heritage Month.
Community members are encouraged to explore educational and cultural resources that highlight Arab American history, art, and experiences, including:
These institutions offer exhibits, digital collections, and programs that deepen understanding and appreciation of Arab American heritage.
Deaf History Month: Honoring Culture, Language, and Leadership
April marks National Deaf History Month, a time to recognize the rich history, culture, and contributions of Deaf and hard‑of‑hearing individuals across the United States. This monthlong observance celebrates the achievements of the Deaf community while encouraging greater understanding, accessibility, and inclusion. Deaf History Month was originally observed from March 13 to April 15, but is now celebrated annually from April 1 – 30.
Deaf History Month highlights several key milestones, including the founding of the American School for the Deaf in 1817, the establishment of Gallaudet University in 1864, and the 1988 Deaf President Now movement – events that helped shape Deaf education, civil rights, and self‑advocacy.
A central part of this celebration is honoring American Sign Language (ASL), a vibrant, fully developed language that plays a vital role in Deaf culture and identity. Throughout April, organizations nationwide encourage people to learn about ASL, attend Deaf‑led events, and explore the history and experiences of the Deaf community.
Deaf History Month is an opportunity for all of us to support accessibility, uplift Deaf voices, and celebrate the past, present, and future of a community whose contributions continue to enrich our world.
Across Western Washington, several organizations are offering opportunities to celebrate Deaf History Month. The Hearing, Speech & Deaf Center in Seattle is hosting ASL classes and community workshops, while Deaf Spotlight continues to feature Deaf artists and cultural programming throughout the month. Regional groups such as the Puget Sound Association of the Deaf and the DeafBlind Service Center are also holding social gatherings and advocacy events that are open to community members from Snohomish County and beyond.
For readers who want to explore the history and significance of Deaf History Month in more depth, you can find an excellent overview from DeafVibes here.
Washington Residents Can Add Developmental Disability Designation to Driver License or ID
Washington residents now have the option to add a developmental disability designation to their driver license or ID card, a voluntary step designed to improve communication and safety during interactions with first responders.
The designation can be added to the Department of Licensing (DOL) system and, if the individual chooses, printed directly on the physical card. Law enforcement can view the designation through the DOL system, while medical personnel can only see it if it appears on the card itself.
Individuals or families may request the designation if they believe it will help first responders better understand communication needs or behaviors during emergencies or stressful situations. No medical documentation is required.
Residents can add or remove the designation by submitting a request form by mail or by visiting a driver licensing office. If the symbol is printed on the card, DOL will issue a new card once the request is processed.
More information and the request form are available on the Washington State Department of Licensing’s disability and medical designation page.

Currently Accepting Job Foundation and School to Work Applications
Attention 2028 Grads – Job Foundation is a program designed to help students and their team seamlessly move into their final year in Transition. A job coach will observe the student through a discovery process and compile the information in a report that is shared with the student’s team. The report includes recommendations including actionable next steps needed for success. Job Foundation is available to students in their second to last year of Transition (ages 19 to 20 years old) and who are eligible with Developmental Disabilities Community Services (DDCS). Students who participate in Job Foundation can segue into School to Work (S2W) in their final year of Transition.
Attention 2027 Grads – Applications for School to Work (S2W) are now open. This is an opportunity for your student to access the vital resources they will need once they graduate. The S2W team will help explore opportunities for employment and the goal is to be employed before the student graduates, creating a smooth transition from “School to Work”. Students who want to work, are enrolled in Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA), have SSI, have selected a first and second Employment Provider of their choice (aligned with current provider capacity) and are 20-22 years old will qualify. This team provides a network of people who are invested is the student success and who will provide ongoing support during school and after graduation as long as needed. Please note, if you have participated in Job Foundation, you do not need to fill out a separate application for S2W. If you completed a Job Foundation application but were unable to participate due to not meeting the eligibility criteria with DDA but have since become eligible before your third year of Transition, you do not need to fill out another application.
