Please join us for Part 1 of this two-part virtual presentation with Darcy Elks.Each session will run for two hours and will feature an engaging slide presentation along with opportunities for participant interaction. The content is grounded in the work of Dr. Wolfensberger, a globally respected leader, teacher, and advocate for individuals with disabilities and their families.
In Part 1, we will explore the societal forces that often prevent people with disabilities from living fulfilling lives. These barriers can create significant hardships for individuals and their families, frequently leading to feelings of devaluation and discouragement. Together, we will examine how these forces impact dreams, aspirations, and the pursuit of meaningful life goals.
