Webinar, December 11th, 2024, with Think College, Institute for Community Inclusion, at UMass Boston. Family Webinar. Presenter: Ashley Luce, UMass Boston. Hear about the “dignity of risk” and how this approach empowers college students with intellectual disabilities. As educators, family members, and advocates, it’s important to support students’ ability to make their own choices and encourage independence. By allowing them to take manageable risks, we help foster their growth and allow them to fully experience college life.
* Explore the community life engagement approach, which ensures students are included in all aspects of campus life.
* Learn practical tips on how to promote self-determination, encourage independence, and support active involvement in campus activities.
* Hear real-life examples of students who thrived by taking reasonable risks, and discover strategies educators and staff use to encourage students’ independence in classes and social life.
