🍁 Fall is a season of change—cooler weather, new routines, and shifting schedules. For families of children with disabilities or special health care needs, these changes can bring unique challenges and opportunities.

Even small adjustments can feel big, and a little extra planning can make all the difference. As you navigate this season, remember: every child experiences change differently, and your support matters.

How can we better support students with disabilities as they prepare for life after high school? The CIRCLES model—Communicating Interagency Relationships and Collaborative Linkages for Exceptional Students—brings together schools, community partners, and families to create a strong network of support.

By connecting three key teams (Community-Level, School-Level, and IEP teams), CIRCLES helps ensure that students are not only involved in their own transition planning, but also empowered to lead the way. The result? Youth with disabilities are more likely to access the services and resources they need for a successful transition to adulthood.

Curious how CIRCLES can make a difference in your school or community? Learn more about this collaborative approach and how it increases self-determination for students with disabilities: ➡️ https://ow.ly/Nb7u50ZNvzc

What can ERI offer employers? More than you might think.

For more than 35 years, Employment Resources, Inc. has worked at the intersection of disability, employment, benefits, and workforce development.

For employers, that expertise can mean practical support with questions such as:
✔️How can we recruit more candidates with disabilities?
✔️What should we know about workplace accommodations?
✔️How can we better support an employee who develops a disability?
✔️Where can employees turn when public benefit questions affect decisions about working?
✔️How can managers and staff build their knowledge about disability and employment?

As ERI builds new relationships with businesses in the Green Bay area and across Wisconsin, we’d love to hear what challenges employers are facing and explore how our team can help.
