For children with intellectual and developmental disability practicing choice-making is especially important because it can lead to a more self-determined life as an adult. This means an adult with connections to the community, a sense of empowerment and a sense of safety because they know their opinions matter. We have everything you need to start choice-making for your child.
This session offers tools and resources to help children and teens with disabilities practice and enhance their choice-making and decision-making skills.
Choice-making skills can:
• Empower children to have more control over their lives
• Improve their own safety
• Enhance communication and self-advocacy
• Lead to improved decision making as adults
Session presented by Family Voices of Wisconsin; hosted via Zoom and in person at DHHS (421 County Road R, Black River Falls)
