The snowy weather recently experienced in Georgia provides a fun opportunity to remind families and other advocates about an exciting upcoming educational opportunity. The Division of MHDDAD Office of Developmental Disabilities is excited to announce a new seminar titled Redefining Disability and Inclusion to Transform Practice: "Snow Day in Georgia" Seminar for Those Who Support Persons with a Developmental Disability Diagnosis.The 'nickname' for this seminar is "Snow Day in Georgia" because the two presenters are Kathie Snow and Judith Snow. We encourage families to attend this inspiring event! There are still seats available for the Savannah session on Tues. Jan. 22 and the Tifton session on Wed. Jan. 23. You may register at the door for those sessions. Forsyth, Marietta and Morrow sessions will take place in March —please register in advance for these sessions as they will fill up more quickly...
Best practices that model inclusion are based on redefining disability in order to transform perceptions and impact behavior. In these sessions, strategies are presented to produce a positive, diversity-inclusive mindset toward disability and to identify clinical and organizational priorities that improve access to community supports.
A wide array of people will benefit from attending this training. We encourage you to attend this seminar, be uplifted and learn how you can improve services for persons with a developmental disability diagnosis.
Details about the seminar and how to register are on the MHDDAD's training website: http://mhddad.dhr.georgia.gov/training.
