Disability Transition Planning Conference
BCI and Community Living, Inc. will co-host the sixth annual Disability Transition Planning Conference on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles. The conference brings together students with disabilities, families, educators, and community professionals for a day of learning, connection, and resources designed to support successful transitions into adulthood.
St. Louis native, speaker, author, and IndyCar Chief Starter Aaron Likens will give the opening keynote address. A passionate autism advocate, Likens shares his journey of living with Asperger syndrome and encourages individuals with disabilities—especially young people—to embrace their strengths, overcome challenges, and pursue their dreams. In his latest book, Playing in Traffic, Likens outlines how finding support and embracing his uniqueness helped him achieve his dream of becoming the official flagman of the world-famous Indianapolis 500.
The conference will take place from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Ameristar Casino Resort Spa in St. Charles, Mo. Registration is $10 per person and includes a continental breakfast and boxed lunch.
