Abstract

There are approximately 150,000 people living with developmental disabilities in North Carolina. Many of these individuals will need assistance as they transition from one setting to another, for example when adolescents with developmental disabilities age out of the school system or when older individuals lose the support of older family members.

This report contains the task force’s recommendations on how to tackle these issues and ensure that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive the kinds of coordinated services and supports they need to help them through life transitions.
