Social media, dating app, and internet use can be beneficial for connecting with others. It can also be risky. In this webinar, you will learn strategies and resources to assist adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) in safely navigating these platforms to create and maintain meaningful relationships.

Minortitized families highly value faith-based support. However, there is often a conflict between their faith-oriented values and those of the school systems, particularly within transition planning. This webinar will explore strategies to develop meaningful collaboration between minoritized families, faith-based support systems, educators, and transition leaders to better support families during the transition planning process. We will also offer templates and resources for incorporating faith-based goals for self-determination and employment in IEP and person-centered planning.
