What do you think of

when you hear the word independence? For many parents of children who have

a disability, the word is both charged with promise and uncertainty. But

most of all, parents wish for their children to have the skills and supports

they need to be agents of their own lives — to be free to make things

happen for themselves with assistance from others only as needed. In order to

achieve this goal, a child, regardless of age, should be taught to think and

believe in themselves. Becoming an independent/interdependent adult does not

happen by accident; it must be taught.

THIS

IS AN OPPORTUNITY YOU DON’T WANT TO

MISS!

During this

interactive session, participants will explore research based methods that

foster independence and build on a person’s abilities. You will leave inspired

knowing that through person centered thinking and collaboration in teaching independence/interdependence

you can improve the quality of life for a person who has a disability.

IS LIMITED!
