Description

"Community conversations" are an asset-based approach for increasing the capacity and commitment of professionals, families, and community allies to support access to inclusive school, work, and community experiences. We will address how this approach is used to engage local communities in new conversations involving a broader range of stakeholders. We will share lessons learned and research from four states using this approach to inform systems change and improve outcomes.
