Conference Learning Objectives

Promoting Inclusion & Full Citizenship – This conference provides a forum for leaders and supporters to come together and explore successes, challenges, and reflections on promoting full inclusion for people with developmental disabilities. Encouraging and advocating for all people to claim their right to full citizenship must remain a priority. We strive to showcase examples of person-centred supports, collaboration, and advocacy that lead to success in these areas.
High Quality Health & Clinical Supports – Improving the supports and services for people to manage and advocate for high quality health and wellness remains a central theme at this conference. Sessions led by experts in health and clinical services will be geared towards providing appropriate and collaborative supports to people and their families.
Leadership Excellence – We intend to deliver opportunities to develop skills at all levels in an organization. Our sessions will provide participants with specific tools to manage common leadership challenges, consider the impact of personal leadership styles, and approach situations in a strategic and collaborative manner.
