Did you know that people with disabilities can receive appropriate, reasonable accommodations so that they can work? Being employed can open the door to independence, confidence, and community – but sometimes folks with disabilities may need a little extra help to sustain employment.

Please join Debbie Drennan, Assistive Technology (AT) Consultant and Inclusion Facilitator, as she delves into:
– Federal and California laws pertaining to individuals with disabilities and employment
– The million-dollar question of when to disclose a person’s disability – and to whom
– How to obtain needed accommodations and assistive technology tools to assist on the job
– Resources that help clarify the laws and tips on how to ask for and get what’s needed to ensure a successful work environment

Please join us to learn what’s possible and how to help your young adult/adult begin or continue to find successful employment.

Debbie Drennan wears many hats: Masters of Social Work (MSW), AT Specialist for over 20 years, Assistive Technology Consultant (AT), Inclusion Facilitator with Beginning Together, mother to two successful young men with disabilities. She became passionate about assistive technology and inclusion because of her children – one of whom has Cerebral Palsy, and another who has ADHD. Both are now successful, independent adults, in part, due to Assistive Technology.

This webinar will provide live Spanish interpretation.

If you need accommodations to participate in the training or assistance with registration, please contact us as soon as possible at alyssa@php.com. We typically require 10 days to arrange accommodations to ensure your inclusion.

This is a Connections California event, a project of Parents Helping Parents – Silicon Valley. Connections California is sponsored in part by the San Andreas Regional Center, the California Department of Developmental Services, and the California Department of Education, Special Education.

People with Level 1 Autism (and the former diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome) often bring valuable strengths to the workplace, while also facing challenges that can affect their work experience in both positive and negative ways.

Please join therapist Michael Pinkerton, LMFT and Living Skills Director at Integrated Community Services (ICS), as he shares insights from his work counseling individuals on navigating the workplace. This discussion will explore both challenges and successes, including:
– Some difficulties faced by people with Autism in the workplace
– Real-life examples and stories of people’s experiences
– Practical strategies and tips for maintaining employment
– Dignity of risk and “failing forward”” – and how these concepts can encourage growth toward successful long-term employment

Whether you’re a self-advocate who is working or exploring employment, or a parent or professional supporting a loved one or client, this webinar offers welcoming information and supportive resources focused on individuals with Level 1 Autism building success in the workplace.

This webinar will provide live Spanish interpretation.
If you need accommodations to participate in the training or assistance with registration, please contact us as soon as possible at alyssa@php.com. We typically require 10 days to arrange accommodations to ensure your inclusion.

¿Alguna vez ha observado en su hijo una gran pasión por algo pero no sabe cómo ayudarle a convertirla en una carrera o en una oportunidad de futuro?

En esta presentación exploraremos cómo transformar estos intereses en un propósito con nuevas y emocionantes oportunidades.

¿Cómo identificar lo que realmente le motiva y cómo puede dar los pasos necesarios para hacer de esos intereses una parte fundamental de la vida laboral y personal de su ser querido?

En esta presentación usted descubrirá aspectos clave que le darán una guía sobre:

– Cómo identificar los intereses de su ser querido
– Cómo encontrar oportunidades alineadas a los intereses personales
– ¿El desarrollo de habilidades importa?
– Redes de contactos para avanzar en el propósito
– La planificación y acción para no desviarse en el camino

Únase a Valeria Echeverría, Navegadora Familiar de UC Davis MIND Institute, y facilitadora del programa “Crianza con Cariño” del Concilio para la Prevencióbn del Abuso Infantil, CAPC.

Ella es graduada en Psicología Clínica Infantil, con un entrenamiento de dos años en Neurología clínica pediátrica y una práctica privada de 12 años.

Además de ser mamá de tres jóvenes adultos, uno de ellos con discapacidad.

Recuerde que convertir las pasiones en un propósito no solo es posible, sino que puede ser uno de los caminos más gratificantes hacia un futuro lleno de oportunidades. A través de la identificación de los intereses, el desarrollo de habilidades y la creación de conexiones significativas, es posible construir una carrera que realmente resuene con su ser querido.

Recognizing Mental Health Concerns in Developmental Disabilities - webinar
Apr
7

Recognizing Mental Health Concerns in Developmental Disabilities - webinar

Brought to us by Hope Services.

The session will be led by Diane Kecskes, MD, Psychiatrist and Medical Director at Hope Services. Dr. Kecskes brings more than twenty years of experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and complex mental health needs.

 What You’ll Learn

• How mental health concerns may present differently in individuals with developmental disabilities
• Signs that something may be “off” from a person’s usual baseline
• Behavioral and functional warning signs to watch for
• Practical strategies for earlier recognition and compassionate support

Recognizing mental health concerns in individuals with developmental disabilities can be challenging. Changes may appear in behavior, communication, or daily routines rather than being expressed in words.

Join Hope Services for the first session in our Hope in Practice learning series, exploring topics that advance disability inclusion and strengthen community care.

Who Should Attend?

Family Members, Caregivers, Direct support professionals, Clinicians, Educators and Community Partners.

Reserve Your Spot

This webinar is free, but registration is required: https://forms.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=7Nypplk9v0CQdiehrU_hfRgdGa9O1ZHria920PbLjxUQkNMWFdLTjVVWllLVjZKTDc5WU81ME1USi4u&vcrmeid=Z4gY5EKD2kSOi4hToPBmg&vcrmiid=otW00iGkRk6EXnODtKmIQg

The last year has brought change, challenge, and uncertainty — but also progress. California is redesigning its developmental disability services to better support community belonging, independence, and employment.

With new Department of Development Services (DDS) options and flexible programs, many support plans for individuals with developmental disabilities may now be personalized and built around a person’s goals, interests, and strengths.

Please join Sara Murphy from TransCen Inc. as she:
– Explains these new services, including eligibility and coordination of services
– Explores topics such as job exploration, work-based learning, skill building, supported and customized employment, and person-centered approaches that help individuals pursue their goals
– Shares examples of how individuals and families are using them to find employment and create meaningful, connected lives in their communities
This webinar is designed to help families and self-advocates understand what’s now available and how to make the most of it.

This webinar will provide live Spanish interpretation.

If you need accommodations to participate in the training or assistance with registration, please contact us as soon as possible at alyssa@php.com. We typically require 10 days to arrange accommodations to ensure your inclusion.

This is a Connections California event, a project of Parents Helping Parents – Silicon Valley. Connections California is sponsored in part by the San Andreas Regional Center, the California Department of Developmental Services, and the California Department of Education, Special Education.

How to Apply for SSI for a loved one with a Disability (In English) - via zoom
Mar

How to Apply for SSI for a loved one with a Disability (In English) - via zoom

This is a Connections California event. Connections California, a project of Parents Helping Parents - Silicon Valley

Event sponsored in part by: Kaiser Permanente and Santa Clara County

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program designed to help people over 65, people who are blind, or people with disabilities (including children) by providing them with financial assistance to cover basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter.

This Parents Helping Parents training is aimed at parents of children or adults with disabilities who want to apply for their loved one's SSI and provide them with what they need to get ahead.

Adults who want to apply for themselves to be as independent as possible are also welcome, as are professionals who want to know what applying for this public benefit is like. This seminar is presented by a PHP community resource specialist, is completely free of charge and is presented in the English language.

Join us for this discussion to increase your chances of a positive outcome.

We will cover the following topics:

Who is eligible for SSI?

What is the application process?

Medical records to prove disability, how do I prepare?

What is the Impairment Information list?

Can I work and get SSI at the same time?

If I am not eligible, are there other Public Benefits?

What is SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance)?

Other public benefits

Applying for SSI services can be confusing and without proper care can result in a denial.

Come and learn what to do to increase your chances of a positive outcome.
