INARF member IPMG has invited Dr. Angela Amado of the University of Minnesota’s Institute on Community Integration to present a webinar this Friday on Connecting Individuals with Disabilities and Community Members.
Amado will present stories from “The Friends Project”, “Person Centered Agency Design Project”, and others, which have been designed to support individuals with developmental disabilities in the development of social relationships with non-disabled persons, being more fully part of their communities, and expanding the number and type of social roles they experience.
The workshop is open to families, guardians, and service providers. Amado has led training about friendships between people with developmental disabilities and ordinary community members in more than 30 states. She also leads person-centered planning and person-centered agency and system design.
