Professional Development for Service Providers and Students

The focus of our professional development work is to provide a parent/family perspective on what life is like for families of children with a disability and the improvements needed to better assist families. Even the best service providers need a regular 'reality check' to remind them of what life is like from a family perspective and how to work better in partnership with families.

In addition to workshops based on the Sharing Our Story video, we offer parent/family input as part of training and professional development programs through our Family Perspectives on Disability presentations for the full range of service providers and professionals who work with family of children with a disability. This includes existing professionals and service providers as well as undergraduate students and trainee workers.
