The Northeast Transition Collaborative Network (NTCN) was created in response to gaps in communication and collaboration between school districts, agencies/providers, young adults, parents, caregivers, and community groups. NTCN hosts monthly virtual sessions about adult services available and opportunities in the community, quarterly professional development opportunities for school district representatives on topics related to person-centered transition, and workshops.
