Turning 18 in Virginia: What Individuals with Disabilities Need to Consider
December 9, 2022 | 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Turning 18 is a big deal. An 18-year-old is legally considered an adult in Virginia and can make legal, financial, medical, and educational decisions in their life. For some individuals with disabilities, this will not be an issue. Others may need support. This workshop will share basic information about things that need to be considered as your loved one turns 18.
This virtual workshop will be presented via Zoom. It will not be recorded.
Presented by PEATC in partnership with The Arc of Greater Prince William
Playdate for all ages! Admission is covered for those with down syndrome. Siblings are welcome! Hope to see you there!

I'd like to add pics from today's walk in the next newsletter. Please post your pics below to be added. Show off your teams, the support you received.
Another awesome walk in the books! Did we make mistakes? Yes! Do we learn from our mistakes? Yes! Thanks for being patient, thanks for a great turnout and a beautiful day. Remember, it’s not about whether you received the correct size t-shirt or if you even received one! It’s about the kids, young and old. It’s about the families, and it’s about raising awareness for DS!
My sister's face while helping me sort shirts! She was working on Team Owyn 🤣 Can't you tell how excited she was 🤣
Thank you so much Dave Floyd for making the video! It's awesome!
This year's walk was a success! We raised over $40K!
Again thank you everyone that came out, made teams, donated etc!
I sincerely apologize for the shortage of shirts. This year I didn't forsee the many registrants but we love it! We will definitely get more shirts next year!
Thanks again and we will see you at the events!
Still time to give. Help us raise our goal of $50,000 for Down Syndrome awareness and education.
