Our education programs increase opportunities for persons with disabilities, families and community partners to engage with the disability community, develop personal interests and gain new skills.

Our classes take advantage of our 35+ years of experience and expertise.  All classes fall within three core areas: consumer education and enrichment, caregiver and family support, and community partner workshops.

Consumer Education and Enrichment Classes

Our classes for individuals with disabilities that are 18 years and older are generally focused on topics that foster independence, build relationships and social connection, and allow a consumer to make informed choices. 

Sample topics include:

• Healthy Lifestyles
• Money Matters

Caregiver and Families Series

Our caregiver and family classes support family planning, reinforce self-care, and navigating available community resources.

• Critical Tools for the Caregiver

Community Partner Workshops

These workshops are designed to help agencies further develop the skills and capacity to serve people with disabilities.
