A Workshop Series for People with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities and their families or home supports To Prepare for what’s NEXT in Employment.

As Georgia expands competitive integrated employment, families and home       supports have many questions and concerns: What does community employment look like? What will they do with the rest of their day? How will they maintain relationships? Who will be here to support them? What skills are needed to be successful? NEXT is a series of  6 workshops that are designed to help individuals and their families and home supports discover possibilities through facilitated discussion, informational sessions and person-centered activities. With the goal of leaving with an understanding of what will happen, who can help and a clear vision for what is NEXT. We are encouraging you to invite families and/or home supports to attend most if not all 6 sessions.

All sessions 6:30-8:30pm EST (3:30-5:30pm PST):
