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!

Who Should Attend
