Description

Delays in achieving continence represent a significant barrier to inclusion, social acceptance, and dignity for individuals with disabilities. The Vermont Continence Project provides capacity-building consultation and training to families and teams supporting children and young adults as they develop these skills. The Continence Project presenters will share our Training and Technical Assistance model, resources, and vision for the future, as well as common barriers and challenges in continence support work.
