Last week, Drew Glassford from Turning Pointe shared information with IPADD

about a new program starting up in the Naperville area called ADDEPT (Adult

Developmental Delay Employment Pre-Training). ADDEPT is described as a life

skills and career development program for high school graduates with autism and

other social, communication or behavior disorders. Classes begin January 16,

2012.

Starting today, and Drew can take questions and share additional

information with IPADD families or professionals about this new program. All

you need to do is post a question as you normally would & someone will respond

back within 24 hours.

PLEASE flag the subject line with 'Question for Chris' or 'Question for Turning
