This session, presented by the AUCD/LEND Family Discipline Network, provides useful information on how LEND/UCEDD programs across the country are recruiting, developing, mentoring, and supporting current and former family trainees for roles in advocacy and disability leadership. Strategies for continuing post-training support through networking, opportunities and resources are highlighted. Real-life outcomes illustrate the impact of training on family advocates and disability leaders in bettering lives and driving positive change.
