*[http://www.ncwd-youth.info/PAS-Toolkit Making the Move to Managing Your Own Personal Assistance Services (PAS): A Toolkit for Youth Transitioning to Adulthood] - Through its Youth Technical Assistance Center, the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability-Youth (ODEP) is releasing Making the Move to Managing Your Own Personal Assistance Services (PAS): A Toolkit for Youth Transitioning to Adulthood. Whether moving from school or a home setting to work, college, or living on their own, transition-age youth with significant disabilities and their families or friends will benefit from the information in the toolkit. Accessing and maintaining long-term supports, such as PAS, has been a significant barrier to employment for youth with disabilities. This new toolkit assists youth in strengthening some of the most fundamental skills essential for successfully managing their own PAS: effective communication, time-management, working with others, and establishing professional relationships.<br />
