Sangha Unity Network, Inc. (SUN), with funding from The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, is hosting "The Power of People" workshop led by Michelle Schwartz, M.Ed. CCC-Sp, and Katie Chandler, LCSW. This full day interactive workshop is designed for the people who work for and support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This workshop will incorporate and build upon the work of John O’Brien, Connie Lyle O’Brien and Beth Mount through understandable content from the Five Valued Experiences and the Wheelpower model of strengthening self-advocacy.

We are encouraged as service providers to use person-centered approaches and practices in our daily work. To provide supports in this way, we must start with an understanding of who people are, what they’ve experienced, what they need, and their vision for their future. We will discuss several approaches that can be used to shift how people are supported, moving from having a “good, but paid life” to a “life well lived,” with new opportunities for people to contribute and to acquire and expand valued social roles while growing community networks and relationships.

Participants will leave with a plan to assist someone they know with an intellectual/developmental disability to have opportunities to belong, to contribute, to develop real relationships, and acquire or deepen a valued social role in the areas detailed in the WheelPower model (learning and teaching, work, neighborhood and community membership, home life, spiritual and religious life, family and friends, creative expression, and sports and adventure).

How do we challenge our frameworks to successfully adapt to people who require multi-system support and non-traditional services while still meeting the needs of our collective stakeholders? At the NASDDDS mid-year conference, we will break down service system silos by examining the support needs of people who challenge our traditional systems. Those needs will be contrasted with the additional consideration of lifespan support requiring an even more complex interconnection of service structures. We will hear from those who are pioneering the path to create true systemic changes needed to implement a framework for support which is responsive, flexible, interconnected, and individualized for every person at every age.

With more than 80 exciting sessions, #NDRN2020 is a wonderful opportunity for you to build skills, renew and deepen your commitment to equality for people with disabilities and meet, network with, and learn from experts from around the country. The NDRN Annual Conference is a good time for us to acknowledge and recognize the action and energy P&A/CAP staff across the country give to advance disability rights - work that can sometimes feel as if it goes unnoticed.

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) have the same right to make decisions about their lives as people without disabilities. However, their ability to make their own decisions is often questioned by teachers, doctors, family members, and others. Research has shown that individuals with reduced self-determination have diminished quality of life outcomes and are less likely to live and be integrated into their community. Guardianship can be an obstacle to the development of self-determination skills. However, people with I/DD are at an increased risk of being placed under guardianship, and guardianship is frequently still the only option presented and utilized by families and supporters of people with I/DD.

The dance is also an excellent way to get connected with people in your communities because we invite people from across community to be at the dance. The theme for this year’s dance is “Once Upon a Time”, which will have a host of Disney characters – both princes and princesses will be present throughout the evening. A live band will be playing wonderful music and Huey Luey's Mexican Kitchen is providing the food for the evening. There will be a separate room for families and caregivers who wish to be present, but prefer a quieter, more tranquil atmosphere and/or who do not desire to participate in the dance portion. There is also freedom to spend the evening touring the city of Acworth, which is within walking distance from the venue.

With the start of a new biennial, we are excited to see all the new bills and legislation.\NDates are subject to change based on the calendar of the 2021 legislative session, which is released in segments across the 40-day session. So please keep an eye out for any updates!\NAnother exciting change this year includes going all virtual! We are planning to have a more robust schedule that will allow for participants to come and go based on their availability and interest in the agenda items. We have also totally revamped our agenda. We are tentatively scheduling our virtual days from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. With longer Advocacy Days, we are excited to have more time for breakout sessions and opportunities to speak with our legislators.\NWe also want to celebrate you and your advocacy with a virtual awards ceremony on April 15! We are excited to share more details, including how we’re honoring some longtime legislative advocates, so stay tuned.\N X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

Organizations, businesses, and public entities use social media to promote their products and mission as well as to engage members of the public. This webinar will cover how social managers and other staff can create and publish content for social media in a manner that is accessible to individuals with a variety of disabilities (vision, auditory, motor, and cognitive). The speaker will provide an overview of the basics of making content accessible on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Learn tips beyond the basics such as tips on writing alt text, ensuring language is accessible, and testing your own content. Participants will have an opportunity to ask the speaker questions following the presentation. https://adata.org/event/accessible-social-media-20

The answer is simple: through leading by example! This session will review the State as Model Employer (SAME) efforts in other states, focusing on how state agencies, not just those related to disability, can accommodate, customize, and prioritize employment initiatives that are inclusive of disability. We will review and discuss the one-pager related to SAME and lay out the plans for a focus group to take place during the Carter Center event on October 27th. Attendees will receive materials that can be used in advocating for SAME in Georgia.

State as Model Employer: National Disability Employment Awareness Month Webinar Hosted by Advancing Employment

How can a state influence the employment rates of people with disabilities? The answer is simple: through leading by example! This session will review the State as Model Employer (SAME) efforts in other states, focusing on how state agencies, not just those related to disability, can accommodate, customize, and prioritize employment initiatives that are inclusive of disability. We will review and discuss the one-pager related to SAME and lay out the plans for a focus group to take place during the Carter Center event on October 27th. Attendees will receive materials that can be used in advocating for SAME in Georgia. We can do this!
