In this presentation we will discuss how to create an environment where competitive employment is seen as a viable possibility and the natural progression for students who have a developmental disability once they leave the school system, similar to their peers without a disability.

We will discuss:

• The importance of basic literacy and numeracy
• Providing opportunities for problem solving, teamwork and learning to learn
• Access to Co-Op in community settings and paid summer employment
• And learn about programs in your community that support access to employment

Audience:

• Parents & Family members
• Educators (teachers, educational assistances, service provider)
• Health care providers (family doctors, physiotherapists)
