Description

Knowledge about disability issues is gained best through first hand, real-life experiences as provided by individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families. This session highlights models using families as trainers for medical students/ physicians; educators / administrators; and law enforcement community agencies. Participants will share their own examples and discuss benefits, ideas and strategies for incorporating ?family voice? into a broad array of training.
