• Be self-advocates. Begin to make your own decisions and follow chosen dreams and interests.
• Know your legal rights, especially your right to be part of the community in which you live.

Recreational and cultural activities offer us:

• Opportunities to interact with and learn from others – with and without disabilities – while enhancing social skills, self-esteem, self-worth and friendships.
• Renewed energy and better physical and mental health.
• Broader community connections which could lead to successful employment in the community.
• Skills for more independent living in the community.
  

You, your son or daughter, and your supports coordinator from the DDDS should:

• Ask your high school transition coordinator and your supports coordinator from The Division of Developmental Disabilities Services for a listing of local recreational opportunities.
• Encourage your child to be a self-advocate. Support him in making his own decisions to follow chosen dreams and interests.
• Make sure your child knows her legal rights, especially her right to be a part of the community she lives in.
