YiPPE-Wisconsin Dells

The YiPPE Program assists youth, ages 15-20, to learn how to make decisions for themselves throughout the transition process, get involved in their school and community, learn how to be as independent as they can, learn more about self-advocacy and self-determination, prepare for work and/or college, learn what the future could hold for them, get to know other youth, make friends and have fun.

The YiPPE program assists parents to plan for their youth’s future; improving their leadership, communication and social skills; learning about transition issues such as health care, employment, education, inclusion, legislation, and adult services; learning about national, state, and local resources that will help their youth make a smoother transition; become a part of a network of parents who have children with disabilities; and, enjoy time with other parents.
