What happens after students with disabilities leave high school? Join us for a webinar designed to help families understand the transition to adulthood and how schools and families can work together to support a successful future.
During this session, we’ll explore post-school outcomes like employment, continuing education, and independent living, and why this information is important for improving transition services. We’ll also break down Georgia’s Indicator 14 survey, what it tells us about students’ experiences after graduation, and how schools use this data to strengthen transition planning.
Families will leave with practical ideas for supporting their student’s goals, building strong partnerships with schools, and connecting with community resources early so students are better prepared for life after high school.

Come learn the basics of tabletop roleplaying from an experienced Dungeon Master. During this 8 week campaign of Dungeons and Dragons using the D&D 2024 Handbook you will be guided through an adventure that will introduce you to the gameplay and storytelling of the world’s most popular roleplaying game! This is a great way to get involved in a new hobby that will give you the skills and confidence to join games with more experienced players and open the doors to a huge community.
No previous tabletop gaming experience required. Players will need to be able to simultaneously use zoom and navigate D&D Beyond (website), with verbal and written directions. If you are unsure if this group is a good fit for you, or you are in need of specific accommodations, please email groups@aane.org.
Please note that these dates are subject to fluctuation. You will have one set up 1:1 meeting with the facilitator and 7-8 group meetings of game play.
Join us for Mahjongg 101, a fun and engaging introduction (or refresher!) to the basics of American Mahjongg. Together, we’ll unravel the mysteries of the tiles, decode the NMJL card, learn the art of dealing, and “dance” through the Charleston—plus so much more. By the end of the class, you’ll feel confident and ready to play!
Choose one or more sessions and build your skills each week. This series is offered in partnership with Mahjongg instructor Rachel Timmer, and 25% of all proceeds will support Spectrum Autism Support Group.
Grab a seat at the table and join the fun—spots fill quickly!
