Building a Future: Self-Determination for People with Developmental Disabilities - Full Day Conference

Building a Future: Self-Determination for People with Developmental Disabilities

Friday, May 8, 2009, from 8:30am to 3:00pm.
Molloy College, Suffolk Center
7180 Republic Airport
East Farmingdale, NY (off of Route 110)
Fee is $5 (will be collected at the door)

Are you worried about what your child with developmental disabilities will be doing after high school?

Learn about self-determination, an alternative to traditional agency-based programs. Self-determination allows participants, family, friends, and chosen staff to design and implement a completely individualized plan, based on the person’s interests, abilities, and support needs.

Come to a full day conference featuring self-advocates, parents, and professionals who are currently involved with self-determination. Register by sending an email to liselfd@gmail.com, or call 631-418-7991 for more information or to register. Please bring a bag lunch; we will supply drinks and a mid-morning snack.
