Through the Keys to Success program VALID gives people who use disability support services the skills and confidence to speak up about what they want in their lives. Self Advocacy and Self Determination skills are important for people who are planning for the future, for some people knowing what they want is easy, it’s the making it happen that proves to be the challenge. This session will also include stories by invited guests who will speak about their Person Centred Plans, the dreams they have and the things that they
are doing in their lives. They will tell their own stories of how they have achieved their goals.
