2013 Wisconsin Self-Determination Conference

The Six Degrees of Self-Determination

 

Creating opportunities in Wisconsin!
This year's conference theme, Six Degrees of Self-Determination, uses the idea that we are all connected and we can use our connections to accomplish something good. Self-Determination is strong in Wisconsin and self-directed supports are one of the most creative tools available for individuals with disabilities to get the support they need to get the life they want. Let's think beyond traditional ways of support. Join us to share, learn and be heard.
Who should attend?
Adults and transition-aged youth with disabilities and their family members, service providers, educators, state employees, IRIS staff, MCO staff, ADRC staff, county staff, and support brokers.
Learning together...
The Self-Determination Conference is uniquely designed to bring the experiences of self-advocates together in a practical "how to" guide provided with the assistance of professionals, family members and support staff. Learn from their experiences and imagine the possibilities.
By sharing our stories and experiences, we grow and learn together as individuals, as organizations and as systems of support. Connecting, sharing, listening and learning together
