Long gone are the days that you have to search multiple websites, just to find summer programs for your children.  We’ve made it a little easier for you to plan for future summers. Last year, Transition Tennessee compiled a list of Tennessee summer programs for students with disabilites to assist parents with planning ahead for their children’s summer activities.  The list shows programs with availability and is housed on Tennessee Disability Pathfinder’s website here. But don’t wait to long, spots in programs fill up fast for the summer. Start planning now!
