AccessAbility is very proud to announce not only the continuing of our workshop model service delivery but our newest collaboration with SC Vocational Rehabilitation and the SC Commission for the Blind. We are now able to extend our reach further with an expansion of our CareerBOOST Workshops to youth from ages 13.5-21. Our Workshops include four to six hours of FREE training in Self-Advocacy, Work-Readiness or Pre-Employment and Post-Secondary Options. We are thrilled to have the support of partners who offer a wealth of experience that allows us more opportunities to serve students with disabilities in South Carolina. We are now able to offer one-on-one peer support and post-secondary counseling. This supportive partnership reinforces learning concepts that will increase outcomes for students with disabilities in transition. If you live in Charleston, Dorchester, Berkeley, Orangeburg, Williamsburg, Marion, Horry or Georgetown counties, book your workshops with us today. We all know how quickly the school year passes.
