About this event
“ACT Chats” is a free new series of informational events, content and resources presented by ACT.
For a young neurodiverse person, moving to adulthood can seem like a challenge. If you’re the parent, guardian, or caregiver, helping your child move towards adulthood can seem just as challenging.
This session will provide information and resources regarding assessment and eligibility and how these relate to accessing Services to Adults with Developmental Disabilities (STADD) Navigators as well as adult services including Community Living BC (CLBC) and Adult Day Services, for example. Also learn about eligibility and access in relation to Persons with Disabilities benefits, including working while collecting disability benefits.
