Special Events

Destination...Life Transition Fair & Conference

This year's Fair & Conference was held on Saturday, March 7, 2026, 9am-1:30pm at McNeil High School. These amazing events are organized by 9 Central Texas Independent School Districts, in order to connect people with disabilities to numerous providers and support organizations, who can help them prepare for life today. They include presentations, panels, and 150 exhibitors and artists. Though the emphasis is on students who are transitioning from high school, it is a valuable resource to a much broader audience. Admission is always free.

The 32nd Annual Rosedale Ride

The Rosedale Ride will be held on March 28, 2026, at Murphy Park, 1600 Veterans Dr. in Taylor, TX. This year's Ride has moved to the rolling farm country northeast of Austin, offering riders a safer route and stunning scenery reminiscent of the classic Rosedale Rides of years past.

The Rosedale Ride raises money for the Rosedale Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, whose mission is to support the children of Rosedale School, AISD's only school exclusively for children with multiple disabilities and profound needs.

Join the fantastic staff from Rosedale and the Rosedale Foundation as a registered rider, or just to participate for free in a fun day of music, food, camaraderie and support this great school.

Making the Best

Rosedale and these transition fairs rekindle memories of Rosemary Alexander (1947-2020): Devoted mother and creative, insightful driving force, who provided so much support to and between parents of children with disabilities, through Arc of the Capital Area, Pilot Parent, AISD and her non-profit Texas Parent to Parent.

We especially mourn our recent losses: the renowned Dave Dauber, passionate, insightful disability rights and accessibility (a11y) advocate, and Bob Kafka, activist and founder of and organizer for REV UP and ADAPT. May they rest in peace while we continue their missions.
