PtW: The Power of Connection

Six diverse children around 10 years old, standing outside with backpacks on; Text: The Power of Connection; Paving the Way to Self Determination.

This presentation is intended for families/guardians.

As social beings, we all crave relationships with others to make life more enjoyable and enrich our daily lives. Yet building meaningful friendships can be a challenge for us all, including those who have a disability.

During this webinar, we will explore and discuss:

  • The definition of friendship and the different ways it can look
  • The benefits of friendship and the impacts of lack of social connection
  • The barriers to friendship and how to overcome them at home, at school, and in the community
  • Ways to be a better friend for peers, both with and without disabilities
