21 and Able Project
PEAL Center’s 21 and Able Project, Powered by United Way helps young adults with disabilities transition smoothly from the last day of high school to the first day of adult life by increasing employment, housing opportunities and other support.
21 and Able has recently gone statewide in Pennsylvania.
PEAL works with families:
- Providing drop in sessions for support and information, training and individual support for transition
- Connecting families, especially for young adults with the most significant disabilities and complex needs to the community supports and services they need.
- Educating policymakers about the needs of young adults in transition to adulthood.
