This year, our Academy workshops focus on self-determination: supporting our young people in driving their own lives. Each month, we will review an essential skill for self-determination – diving into the skill itself while constructing an understanding of how we can support this skill development in our young people.

Team members from all specialties within Ivy Street will lead these workshops, bringing their unique expertise to each discussion.

Preparing for the transition out of high school is a complex process. In this series, we will walk through the various aspects of the process and work to understand each step.

Caring for a young adult with disabilities comes with with unique challenges. Our Parent Support Groups provide an opportunity to connect over shared experiences and find common ground. Led by Ivy Street clinicians, these groups make space for families to discuss difficult topics and heal together.

We hold several events to support connection among our community and build upon our Ivy Street spirit!

Our families’ voices are essential in refining the work we do at Ivy Street. This year, will hold our Parent Advisory Group as a dedicated space for families to discuss the critical issues that impact their students and our school.

Join us in community for a Family Learning and Discussion Group. Together, we will read, discuss, and prepare to dive into learning at the upcoming Pratt Lecture Series by Lydia XZ Brown: Disability Justice Informing Communities of Practice.
