REGISTER NOW: Aging Out of Foster Care Webinar - Challenges and Options
Join us for a free webinar on Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2016 from 2-3:00 p.m. Get a detailed look into a "Creating a 'Picture of a Life' for Transitioning Youth with Developmental Disabilities in Foster Care," a program that seeks to prepare youth with developmental disabilities who are about to exit foster care to exercise choice, promote the use of informal and community supports, and to make knowledgeable decisions on community living and work through the development of person-centered plans and opportunities to learn self-advocacy and determination skills.
This informative webinar is geared toward foster care parents and professionals who want to see teens with disabilities succeed as they transition out of the system and prepare for adulthood at the same time. You'll hear about the reality of caring for kids with disabilities in foster care, why creating a person-centered plan matters and learn about resources to increase transition success in the lives of some of Arizona's most vulnerable young people. Presenters from the University of Arizona's Sonoran University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, the Arizona Department of Child Safety and the Division of Developmental Disabilities will speak.
