Available Services
Youth Summer Services
Summer break is the perfect time for youth with disabilities to discover their passions in a fun yet secure environment. As part of our Youth and Family Services, we empower young people to spend time with their peers and engage in fun-filled experiences. Our youth summer activities range from one-day workshops to month-long, five-day-a-week camps.
Youth Transition Services
Transitioning out of high school and into adulthood can be scary for anyone. But as children with disabilities get older, their families need additional support as they navigate what the years ahead hold. Our team becomes partners for youth with disabilities as they transition into adulthood, revealing resources for education, employment, housing and beyond.
Youth Group
Paraquad provides an outlet for young people with disabilities to engage with one another, find their voices and learn new skills. Our Youth Group offers monthly meetings that are educational and engaging, ensuring each member leaves with valuable skills or knowledge they did not have before.
Special Education Advocacy
Our Youth and Family Services team also assists parents and young people with disabilities in understanding and advocating for their educational rights. Paraquad’s Special Education Advocacy program provides families with individualized resources and guidance. Our partners for youth with disabilities ensure students receive the educational experiences they deserve.
