Family Matters Parent Training and Information Center will host part five, “Building Out a Plan Using the Life Trajectory Planning Tool,” on May 21 from 12 to 12:45 p.m.
The 12-session virtual series will introduce Charting the LifeCourse (CtLC), a practical, family-centered framework for planning across the lifespan. Each month, families, youth, and professionals will explore one key CtLC tool or concept through:
- Short videos
- Guided discussion
- Examples of how families are using these tools to plan, connect and advocate for the life they want.
This session will explore the Life Trajectory Planning Tool, which supports direction-based planning for individuals with disabilities.
This session will emphasize taking small, actionable steps toward a meaningful, self-directed future.
The discussion and activities will focus on helping participants:
- Identify “good life” and “not a good life” outcomes
- Explore how fear-based planning limits opportunities
- Learn to reframe decisions.
There will also be time to network, share ideas, and connect with others on similar journeys.
Anyone supporting students and young adults with disabilities is welcome to attend.
