For those who wish to attend the evening sessions in person, the Sauk Prairie School District's district office (440 13th Street, Prairie du Sac) will be open to families who wish to attend. There will be a space for those in need of the Spanish translation session as well as one for English.
All talks will be simultaneously interpreted into Spanish. Underwriting for interpretation services is provided by Sauk Prairie School District and Wisconsin Integrated Transition Planning Project (WITPP). WITPP finds ways for youth with disabilities to get better information about healthcare, education, and employment services. This information can make the transition to adulthood easier.

- Post Secondary Transition Plans, HIgher Education/Financial aid
- Aging and Disability Resource Center - applying for social security, long term supports
