Person-driven planning for individuals with disabilities
Speak Up is a class designed to teach people with disabilities to lead their own Person Driven Plan
About the Class
The Speak Up class is designed to teach people with disabilities receiving Home and Community Based Services to lead their lives through the creation of their own Person Driven Plan.
Speak Up is a 10 week long class that covers the following topics: leadership, community engagement, personal wellness, problem solving, creating change, and developing a vision. See our class overview here.
The class is designed to be interactive and fun! You will be encouraged to build connections with others. The class moves between lessons of personal discovery and the practical implications that come from this and culminates with the development of an individual Person Driven Plan.
Who is the Speak Up class for?
This class is designed specifically for people with disabilities who are interested in learning how to lead their own Person Driven Plan and work on creating a life they love.
Participants explore topics related to self advocacy, setting goals, and discovering their personal paths. Participants also come to understand the power of the disability community and the importance of their voice in sharing their perspectives and creating the life they want.
Participation in the Speak Up class will provide the language, knowledge, and tools to ensure that participants have a powerful voice in leading their own Person Driven Plan and are not afraid to confront, to listen, and to see new possibilities for their future.
