What Are We Doing These Days?

Indiana Self-Advocates Offer Trainings!

Self-Advocates of Indiana now has a training team! We are ready to come to your location and provide trainings on the following topics.

(1) Self-Determination

Self-determination is both a movement and a civil rights issue. It requires skills, responsibility, and support. How do we assist people to be able to make decisions about their lives?

This training has been developed for staff of service provider agencies and family members of self-advocates.
Length of Training: Three hours

(2) Starting a Self-Advocacy Group in Your Area

In many areas of our state, adults with developmental disabilities do not have the opportunity to participate in self-advocacy activities. Learn how to form a local organization that is eligible for membership in Self-Advocates of Indiana.

This training has been developed for adults with disabilities and their supporters.
Length of Training: One day

(3) Project Vote!

All citizens with disabilities are eligible to vote. The Project Vote training was created by the National Center for Self-Determination and 21st Century Leadership in order to increase voter participation and awareness.

This training has been developed for people with disabilities, including self-advocates.  
Length of Training: One day

The cost of hosting a training by Self-Advocates of Indiana is arranged on the basis of travel distance and other expenses.

Our Training Experience

We have held successful Project Vote trainings at several locations, including Opportunity Enterprises in Valparaiso and the Easter Seals Arc in Fort Wayne.

We have made many presentations at conferences, including those sponsored by The Arc of Indiana, the Indiana Chapter of Professional Case Managers Association, Partners in Policy Making, and Best Buddies International.
