SUMMARY:Transitions to Adulthood Clinic (Montgomery County)
DESCRIPTION:xMinds and the Autism Society of Maryland (AUSOM) invite you to the 2026 Transitions to Adulthood Clinic: Get expert help applying for DORS\, DDA & SSI \nPreparing your autistic teen for life after high school — also known as the transition to adulthood — involves planning for everything from further education and employment to independent living and support services.

Understanding when and how to apply\, and whether your child is likely to qualify\, can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to navigate it alone. xMinds and the Autism Society of Maryland (AUSOM) are co-hosting this free\, in-person event designed for Montgomery County families of autistic students ages 14–22 who want professional guidance on applying for state and federal services such as: \n\nDDA (Developmental Disabilities Administration)\nDORS (Division of Rehabilitation Services)\nSSI (Supplemental Security Income)\n\nMake Plans to Attend \nDate: Saturday\, May 30th\nTime: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM \nRegister: https://xminds.org/event-6540199\nLocation: Montgomery Blair High School\, 51 University Blvd E\, Silver Spring\, MD 20901\nCost: Free! \nReady to participate?\nHere’s how to get the most out of this event: \n\nAttend the presentation by disability benefits expert Eric Jorgensen\nBring your paperwork and/or a laptop (free wifi will be available)\, work on your applications\, and get guidance from trained staff\nVisit resource tables hosted by local providers from around the community!\nSchedule your individual consult:  Your private consultation appointment is separate from your general event registration.
