Save the Date- College Planning Forum
The Regional Transition Centers in collaboration with RIDE will once again hold the College Planning Forum. The forum is scheduled for March 22, 2025 from 10:00am-3:00pm. Presenters include representatives from Disability Services at Brown, RISD, RIC, URI and CCRI. Jennifer Sullivan from Fast Forward College Coaching will be presenting as well as a representative from The College Planning Center. Our College Panel which consists of college students with disabilities will also be presenting on their experiences attending college. More information to follow.
All students need is a little help, a little hope, and somebody who believes in them.
