LifeCourse program Trainings

We offer trainings for individuals, families and parents; schools, agencies, providers and business; and county boards. Our LifeCourse program helps caregivers learn from real life examples and create plans that enhance the lives of all family members.

These trainings will help professionals who serve individuals with disabilities build upon their own understanding of the needs of individuals and families; start conversations about what individuals need in order to be successful and self-determined throughout their lives; think about how their choices, decisions and experiences now and help them in the future.
