Please join us in our Stafford AT lab for our Young Adult (and Parent) open lab. This event is open to the public to visit and will be held every 4th Thursday of the month. With upcoming holidays, we will be adjusting the schedule for November and December. The lab is open to explore fun and useful apps for your smartphone and tablet. We will also be sharing resources for transition-aged adults and their parents from our Texas Youth 2 Adult website. Although we will gear our conversations towards young adults, it is very helpful to have parents attend as well. This website is geared to helping parents navigate all the many lists of things to do as their young adults transition into adulthood.
These meetings are always held in person, but we have started offering a virtual option. The class will be held at the same time. For those who can’t join us in person, but still want to participate, the information to join is located below.
