TRAINING ANNOUNCEMENT

The snowy weather recently experienced in Georgia provides a fun

opportunity to remind families and other advocates about an exciting

upcoming educational opportunity. The Division of MHDDAD Office of

Developmental Disabilities is excited to announce a new seminar titled

Redefining Disability and Inclusion to Transform Practice: " Snow Day

in Georgia " Seminar for Those Who Support Persons with a Developmental

Disability Diagnosis.The 'nickname' for this seminar is " Snow Day in

Georgia " because the two presenters are Kathie Snow and Judith Snow.

We encourage families to attend this inspiring event! There are still

seats available for the Savannah session on Tues. Jan. 22 and the

Tifton session on Wed. Jan. 23. You may register at the door for those

sessions. Forsyth, Marietta and Morrow sessions will take place in

March —please register in advance for these sessions as they will fill

up more quickly...

Best practices that model inclusion are based on redefining disability

in order to transform perceptions and impact behavior. In these

sessions, strategies are presented to produce a positive,

diversity-inclusive mindset toward disability and to identify clinical

and organizational priorities that improve access to community supports.

A wide array of people will benefit from attending this training. We

encourage you to attend this seminar, be uplifted and learn how you

can improve services for persons with a developmental disability

diagnosis.

Details about the seminar and how to register are on the MHDDAD's
