Join us for the 2021 Empowering a Future conference for exciting new content in a virtual format!
Empowering a Future is a professional development opportunity for educators and service providers working with youth with disabilities who are transitioning to adulthood. This year’s conference will include all the exciting sessions you’re used to – but in a user-friendly online format! Want to learn how to motivate and empower your students? It’s time to leave the deficits-based approaches behind and focus on new strategies to build strong, successful self-advocates. Session content will highlight virtual service delivery, supported decision-making, pre-employment transition services, youth leadership, and much more.
