Transition to Adulthood:
Key steps to ensure your teen has the support services they need
Recorded November 2023. As youth move towards a transition to adulthood, families have questions about services that may be offered and available to them when they transition to adulthood. Being aware of these services, understanding how they work, then knowing how to access them can offer confidence and relief to families.

- Alberta Supports online accounts, including Disability Application Process (DAP)
- Persons with Developmental Disabilities PDD
