Listed here are Kitsap events related to developmental disabilities or special education including our monthly meeting. Not all community events are posted here. If you would like to add an event, please contact us.
Families and care providers of loved ones with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities need to stay engaged in the disability community because it takes a village. We know that life after the entitled school years is often scattered with challenges and setbacks; we as parents and self-advocates need to be persistent, hopeful, and planful. The reality we face is that we cannot rely on the social service system to meet the needs of our loved ones, there isn’t enough money or expertise to do that. What we can do as parents for our children is to dream, innovate, and activate a plan for the lifespan. This training will provide you with an overview of lifespan supports and services, planning tools, who to involve, and how to activate and sustain a plan.
