Event Description

Summit DD has a new training opportunity for independent providers, agency provider staff, SSAs, and IAs. This training focuses on supporting individuals in medical settings, with an emphasis on self-advocacy, independence, and choice.

Because often this planning requires a person’s entire team, this comprehensive training also provides an opportunity for providers, SSAs, and IAs to participate in a joint training and shared conversation.

  • October 29, 2026 |       10:00–11:00 AM
  • November 5, 2026 |       12:00–1:00 PM
  • November 11, 2026 |       11:00 AM–12:00 PM
