Children Transitioning to Adulthood

S.A.L.T. & SEA S.A.L.T. - S.A.L.T. (School-to-Adult-Life Transition) is a free monthly forum geared toward helping students with developmental disabilities and their families successfully navigate the transition from high school to adult life. Each forum is broken into two sessions--one for parents (S.A.L.T.) and one for students (SEA S.A.L.T.). Oftentimes, the student topics mirror that of the parents. For more information about Riverside's S.A.L.T. Program, please contact Dwayne Hall, Community Navigator, at (937) 440-3026 or Jacklyn Vietor, SSA Manager, at (937) 440-3057.
