    Are you unsure of what the future holds after graduating and completing high school? Through disABILITY Resource Center’s services and transition programs, high school and college-aged youth with disabilities learn to live, work, and enjoy life as independently as possible in their own community. Our presentation will focus on our Live Out Loud (LOL) Academy, which is a free summer program geared toward students who are ready to find employment. We will describe the purpose of LOL Academy, the eligibility requirements, and the services and support we provide to empower young adults to live as independently as possible.
