New Agency Navigation Tool

What does this agency do? Who is eligible for their services? What services are available? As transition students and their families navigate transition planning, it's important to know and understand those agencies that can support and prepare them for their adult life vision. We've added three new partners to the Agency Navigation Tool: Centers for Independent Living; Medicaid's OhioRISE; and Ohio Department of Transportation's Mobility Managers. All offer supports or services to students, families, and/or professionals navigating transition.
