Education and Training

What is Education and Training?
We provide training and education to schools, disability organizations, community organizations, early childhood providers, self-advocates, families, and other community members to equip them with the tools and knowledge they need to enhance outcomes for individuals with and without disabilities. By focusing on building capacity through professional development and training, we ensure that evidence-based practices are translated into meaningful action in classrooms and other settings and implementation supports are involved by lived experience and practice. Our team works closely with educators, vocational rehabilitation counselors, disability service providers, people with disabilities, families, and community members to provide tailored support and resources, fostering the application of research into everyday practice to create lasting positive outcomes.
