Got word Sarah from SAIL that the folks from the Developmental Disabilities Institute at Wayne Sate University are coming up to Marquette this summer to conduct four different workshops that should be pretty useful for teens and adults.Training #1, June 12 at 6 pm: "Supporting Growth Through Opportunity and Choices." This training is designed to provide information about how to support people with disabilities in making their own choices without influencing them in their decision-making.
Training #2, June 26 at 6 pm: "Supporting People in establishing Friendships and Making Community Connections." This training is designed to give information about ways to support people with disabilities in developing relationships/friendships with people in the community.
Training #3, July 17, 6 pm: "Living a Self-Determined Life." This training module will examine aspects of living self-determined life in greater detail by breaking down the various characteristics and elements of a self-determined life.
Training #4, Jul 31, 6 pm: "Ten successful and Assertive Steps for Working with Professionals." This training is designed to give practical ideas on how to increase your own level of assertiveness when working with professionals in service to people with disabilities.
All trainings will be held at the Superior Alliance for Independant Living (SAIL) office, 1200 Wright St, Marquette. Call 906/228-5744 or email Kristine Tollefson and kristinet@upsail.com to register by June 5, 2012.
