Staff Highlights from the Roots2Wings Workshop

DO-IT staff had the opportunity to attend a January 2026 workshop called “Get Stuff Done!” The workshop was coordinated by the Roots2Wings Family Group, a non-profit organization founded by a member of the DO-IT Community. The conference was held at Highline College in Federal Way, WA. Representatives from community providers and agencies shared information about assistive technology, college preparation, legal issues, advocacy, and more! Participants had the unique opportunity to attend a college class at Highline College. 

The Roots2Wings Family Group offers online sessions that help families and self-advocates understand what changes as neurodiverse youth move from child services to adult systems. Each month during the school year, Roots2Wings Family Group hosts an online workshop on a variety of topics. Each quarter they bring those providers as well as others together for an in-person conference.
