Training Materials

These training materials are great resources for classrooms, support groups, and self-study. The intention with the training packets is to encourage conversation about each topic so self-advocates can feel more confident on their own.

Including self-advocates or peers while administering the trainings is highly encouraged (we designed it that way!).

Materials included in each topic is:

  • A Training Manual (for instructor use)
  • PowerPoint Slides: These slides include information provided within the Guides, as well as group activity opportunities
  • Activity Worksheets (for individuals with IDD): These worksheets have three activities to aid with the comprehension of each Guide.

The training materials for the My Life After High School series is available in Spanish.
