2022 Youth & Family Summit (I'm Determined)

This is a completed event.

Description:

The Youth and Parent Summit is a three-day event held each June and sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education and the Partnership for People with Disabilities. Youth with disabilities from across the Commonwealth meet to network and discuss issues of importance to youth and young adults with disabilities.

This year youth and families will learn about 3 key components of self-determination: Competence, Autonomy, and Relatedness. Youth will attend sessions that help them understand these three components, how to put them into practice, and how to plan for continued growth in each area.

Parents will attend separate sessions built specifically for them, focusing on the same components and also bringing in awareness of resources and agencies available to families in Virginia.

Attendees: They will accept up to 50 youth residing in Virginia.

No application necessary for the virtual component.
