Did you know? On average people with disabilities are not asked about what they want to do when they grow up until age 14, which can put them significantly behind their peers. Which is why our employment programs are excited to be working with schools to help aid in career exploration and preparing them for the future to ensure every student has the support they need to transition smoothly. 🎓 💪 #BestBuddiesTX #BestBuddiesJobs #Transitions
