Adult Transitions
The Adult Life Committee is made up of parents whose children have already transitioned or those who have knowledge in transitioning into adulthood. Their goal is to gain a better understanding of the various transition aspects as they are anticipated and/or experienced by Dupers and their Families. Their intention is to identify the aspects that are most critical and, through the work of the Adult Life Committee, develop the resources and strategies which will help families achieve successful outcomes.
