As we continue our Back To School & Transition Series, I am excited to welcome Chris Blezien.  Chris has mild Cerebral Palsy and is 40 years old. He has been actively involved in the transition process since the beginning. Which started in school where he participated in his IEP meetings since grade school. When he graduated he used the department of rehabilitation services to help navigate job shadowing as well employment opportunities through the ticket to work program.  He has had several jobs including: an internship at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. He was a guest services host. Additional, he has worked for Kane County Cougars baseball club in the souvenir shop as a cashier and at Walmart as a greeter.  Listen in as Chris shares his personal story along with resources and organization that he has found helpful.
