On April 13th, Horizons School, in collaboration with Disability Resource Network, Phoenix, and United Ability, hosted a hiring expo that brought together 25 employers and 75 attendees. The event, which was sponsored by Cawaco R&D, was focused on helping people with disabilities find employment opportunities.

The event was a great success, with many attendees expressing gratitude for the opportunity to connect with potential employers. Employers, in turn, were impressed by the diverse range of job seekers in attendance and the level of enthusiasm and professionalism displayed by everyone involved.

Horizons School is dedicated to supporting students with learning differences and disabilities, and this event was a natural extension of that mission. By partnering with Disability Resource Network, Phoenix, and United Ability, the school was able to leverage the resources of multiple organizations to create a truly impactful event.

Overall, the hiring expo was a testament to the power of collaboration and community engagement. By coming together and focusing on a common goal, the partners were able to create an event that benefited both job seekers and employers alike. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all involved that the event was such a resounding success.

We look forward to seeing the positive impact that events like this will continue to have on the lives of people with disabilities in our community, and we applaud Horizons School, Disability Resource Network, Phoenix, United Ability, and Cawaco R&D for their commitment to this important work.

As students with learning and developmental disabilities reach adulthood, the transition into independent living can be a daunting prospect. However, with the right support and resources, it can be a smooth and fulfilling experience. The Horizons School is dedicated to helping its students successfully make this transition, empowering them to lead fulfilling and independent lives.

At Horizons School, we understand the unique challenges that students with learning and developmental disabilities face when transitioning into independent living. Our specialized curriculum is designed to address these challenges, equipping students with the skills they need to live on their own. From financial management and household tasks to personal hygiene and social skills, our students receive comprehensive training in all areas of independent living.

One of the key components of our program is community-based instruction. This involves taking students into the community to practice the skills they have learned in real-world situations. This hands-on approach allows students to experience the challenges and rewards of independent living in a safe and supportive environment.

In addition to our curriculum, we also provide personalized support to each student. Our team of experienced educators works closely with each student to develop an individualized plan that addresses their unique needs and goals. This includes providing support with finding employment, housing, and community resources.

At Horizons School, we believe that all students with learning and developmental disabilities deserve the opportunity to lead fulfilling and independent lives. Our program provides students with the skills, support, and resources they need to transition into independent living with confidence. We are proud to play a role in empowering our students to achieve their full potential.

In conclusion, the transition into independent living can be a challenging process for students with learning and developmental disabilities. However, with the right support and resources, it can be a fulfilling and empowering experience. The Horizons School is committed to helping its students successfully navigate this transition and achieve their goals.
