About the Training

 

This training was created by and for people with disabilities and their families through a grant funded by the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council. All people with all support needs are invited to learn. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, trainings will be online for the near future. Look forward to these trainings being offered in many accessible formats, including ASL and different languages!

Who it is for?

If you identify as someone with a disability, or a family member of someone with a disability and are interested in this training, please sign up! Choose from 1-hour or 2-hour modules (not a progression of training). This training has been made for all people, no matter how your disability may affect you. Support professionals, teachers, case managers, and others are only invited to attend if they are directly supporting someone to attend the training. If you do not meet the requirements to attend the training, you can request training for your employees or members.

What will you learn?

After the training, people with disabilities and family members will understand:

  • Person-centered planning

  • Support available through the process of planning

  • How to develop your plan and make it work

  • Expectations for timelines and accountability
