 HEAR FROM SDP FAMILIES

# Voices of SDP: **Advice from Experienced Families**

****### **September 17, 2026 at 12pm PDT******

****### Navigating the Self-Determination Program comes with a learning curve.

 And even once you're in it, there's always more to learn. That's why hearing from people who've been there can make such a difference.

This webinar brings together a live panel of families for a candid conversation about their experiences. They'll talk about:

- A time they felt stuck, and what helped
- How daily life has changed, and what new services or opportunities are now accessible
- What they wish they'd known, and what they'd tell someone just starting out
- ...and more!

#### Panelists

**Sydney Rainin-Smith**

**Mike Smith**

#### Who Should Attend

People who are already in SDP who want to learn from people farther along in their journey, as well as people who are still exploring SDP and want an honest picture of what to expect.
