Community inclusion is not simply a process of going out into the community and walking around the mall. The ideas go far beyond that. The idea is tied to intersectionality and ableism, terms in the disability field that are very important and very basic. This class will focus on community inclusion and the concepts behind it. We will discuss how to truly make inclusion effective and at the same time address intersectionality and the promotion of rights and a person’s place and acceptance in society.

This is not a lecture, but rather a practical discussion of how to support people with disabilities more effectively. We will discuss the actual ideas behind community inclusion and engagement. What can programs do to truly support the person? What are the best approaches and ways to maximize our efforts? We will offer scenarios and planning tools to help attendees implement positive changes at their program.

Members $70 / Non members $95

In this webinar we will go in-depth about how to help an individual live an independent lifestyle when faced with the challenges of having lived a life directed solely by parents/guardians. The following topics will be discussed:

• Learned helplessness and other mental barriers that prevent individuals from realizing their full potential.

• Scenarios where individuals have to make a choice regarding a difficult decision and how staff need to construct all of the outcomes (pros and cons) before choosing the best outcome for themselves.

• The Dignity of Risk – Every decision we each make has an element of risk. Unless there is imminent harm, an individual has the right to make a decision and take a risk, even if that decision can lead to a negative outcome. We all learn from mistakes, and individuals should have the right to learn as well.

• Video clips and activities are included in the webinar to enhance learning.
