A ONE-OF-A-KIND LEARNING EXPERIENCE

A provocative 15-week program that combines interactive webinars with a self-paced online theory- to-practice curriculum. This course is designed to take the guesswork out of what it means to be truly person-centered and to build social inclusion with people with disabilities.

The course provides a learning experience that is guided by people with disabilities. The course includes recorded interviews with experts, reflective and field-based applied learning, facilitated discussion, and more. Be prepared for an “inside-out” experience. Participants are required to work with a minimum of two learning partners,*—one of these partners must be a person with a disability—throughout the course. These partners, along with the other course participants, serve as guides and supporters throughout the learning journey.

*Participants are responsible for finding your own learning partners.

  • Service and/or program coordinators
  • Direct support professionals
