Community Faculty Orientation

Please contact the Network if you are interested in more information.

 

Have you ever wondered how you could share some of the knowledge you have gained as a person with a disability, a parent, or a sibling?

 

You may have experiences you would like to share with the very people who are learning how to support yourself or your family member in their health, education, rehabilitation and social serviceds.

 

You have something unique and valuable to offer students and professionals.

 

Consider being part of our Community Faculty and attend an Orientation to learn more.

 

 

 
Resource Parent Education Day

Do you have a son or daughter with a disability? Would you like to support another parent who has a child with a similar disability or who is facing a challenge related to the disability? Our Resource Parents offer information and emotional support. They offer something other support systems cannot - shared common experiences. If you would like to be a Resource Parent please register for this workshop and learn about confidentiality, listening skills, resources and more.
