Participants

Participants will engage  in a variety of lessons, activities, and discussions to develop a deeper understanding of themself and what they want in their life. The goal is to equip participants with the language, knowledge and tools to propel their voice in a powerful and effective way. The Person Driven Plan will allow individuals with disabilities to self-advocate and create their future with confidence.


The class has been designed to be accessible for all people with disabilities and will be taught by facilitators who are skilled at creating meaningful participation for all. Support staff are welcome to attend and help.
