This workshop series, entitled #ADULTING , is open to teens and adults aged 16 and older who have a disability. The purpose of this series is to come alongside our participants and educate them on topics that will allow them to advocate for themselves in their daily lives. This year’s workshop series will cover the elements and steps each individual must take to become a well-rounded, successful adult! The series will begin with a panel of self-advocates who will help facilitate conversation about what obstacles they’ve had to overcome to become successful and independent adults. We will then discuss self care, self-awareness, social etiquette, getting and keeping a job, finances and budgeting, and MUCH MORE! The entire series is $15 per self-advocate. Light snacks and beverages will be provided at each session.
Classes will be held Monday evenings; 6-7:30 p.m. beginning Feb. 3rd ending Feb. 24th at the DSACO Office at 521 W Wilshire Blvd Suite 130 OKC, OK 73116.

Charting the Life Course is a framework that was developed to help individuals with disabilities and families at any age or stage of life think about what they need to know, identify how to find or develop supports, and discover what it takes to live the lives they want to live. Individuals and families may focus on their current situation and stage of life but may also find it helpful to look ahead to start thinking about what they can do or learn now that will help build an inclusive productive life in the future. Participants will leave the workshop with tools to make appropriate plans for each child for the future.

Oklahoma is moving forward with “rebooting” its State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP), a multi-year plan to build infrastructure and increase the implementation of evidence-based practices with the purpose of improving student outcomes. The SSIP is federally-mandated for all states and territories, and Oklahoma must have a new one in place by December 2020. The first step in this process is gathering stakeholder input into the selection of the “State-identified Measureable Result,” the specific outcome we will target for improvement.
OSDE-SES will hold meetings in three regions in the next few weeks to meet with district personnel, parents and interested family members, and community advocates. In each location, we will have an afternoon (2:00-4:30pm) and an evening (5:30-8:00pm) meeting. Please plan to attend one of these, if you are available. We will also host a webinar for those who cannot participate in person.
DATE LOCATION
January 30 Wilson Learning Center in Tulsa
February 5 Red River Tech Center in Duncan
February 11 OCCC Library in OKC

Next Tuesday, we will send out the registration information with additional location details. We look forward to talking with you about where OSDE-SES should focus its efforts for the next six years!
