SUMMARY:Workshop: Advocacy Steps
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Family Resource Network and Starbridge for an upcoming training:\nAdvocacy Steps \nWednesday\, November 5th\n9:00am-11:00am\nOnline via ZOOM \nAdvocacy is the act of problem-solving with a purpose and a goal.  A parent might engage in advocacy on behalf of their child; people who have a disability may advocate for themselves; a teacher may advocate on behalf of a student; groups of people may join forces in systemic advocacy efforts to change laws or policies. A step-by-step approach can guide us toward the desired outcome\, regardless of the circumstance or scope. Participants will learn how to build a solid foundation of team members. Hands-on activities will reinforce the advocacy steps that lead to successful outcomes. \nOur Presenter: Kara Georgi is the Parent Education Specialist for Starbridge Parent Training and Information Center. She offers support and information for families and professionals navigating the special education system in Cayuga\, Tompkins\, Onondaga\, Cortland\, Broome\, Madison\, Chenango\, Otsego and Delaware Counties. \n***Registration Required*** \nTo register\, please follow the link below: \nRegistration Form \n***This workshop is funded through a grant from the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). Self-directing families will need to add “Training Groups” to their budgets prior to attending. Please contact Robin at 607-287-6358 for assistance adding this to your budget.*** \n
