About this workshop:

This workshop is geared for families with children/youth aged 5-15 (youth not yet job searching)

We will discuss:

• Having high expectations – why does it matter?
• How responsibilities/chores at home and extra-curricular activities can build skills and attitudes for future work
• Myth-busting (Yes – many youth with disabilities work! Employers value diverse workforces)
• Programs and services that promote participation
