A word from Kristen Crowther:
“To anyone in the Weirton area who works in the Disability field or has a family member or friend diagnosed with an Intellectual or Developmental Disability, please consider attending this amazing training!
I attended it last year and can say it's one of the most impactful trainings I have attended in my 25 years working in this field.
I have known Gail Godwin DiGirolamo for over 20 years and the information the Expectations Matter Developers / Presenters share is so important.
This training provides essential person-centered planning information as well as how people with disabilities should be directing their own services and be supported by their yes team!"
