TRAINING
Our core training workshops are:
A Full Life Ahead is a series of workshops designed for parents and caregivers as they plan for an interdependent, full life in the community for their loved one with a disability. Workshops are hosted across the state and topics include friendships, transition, employment, housing and financial planning.
The Family Leadership Series is a training for members of children with disabilities that teaches information about “best practices” for people with disabilities, how to create a vision for their family member and a process to achieve that vision, and prepares family leaders to advocate at the local and state level to impact practices and policies that affect families.
Advocacy Bootcamp is a training intended for primary caregivers of young children (birth to age 10) with developmental disabilities, chronic illnesses, and/or complex medical needs. The training focuses on building foundational advocacy skills so that parents can empower their children to lead rich, meaningful, and exciting lives.
