Community Living Skills: Disability Identity
Amy Lariviere
Session Overview:
This session can help participants understand disability and some of the shared experiences they may have. It will help participants reflect on their unique and personal identity story. Identifying as a person with a disability does not have to be negative; it can be a step towards taking back power to make choices and lead the life participants want to lead.
