Workshop Description:

Its actually a chance to launch sustained self-determined and self-directed pathways for individuals as they pursue their aspirations in school, at work, and in their communities. In this session, a person-centered planning facilitator and three young adults share their experiences pursuing inclusive experiences with the support of family, friends, teachers, university staff, and counselors. This presentation will include examples of inclusive experiences at college, at home and in the community. Specific strategies and methods to support individuals as they work to achieve these and other inclusive lifestyles will be shared.
