Engaging Diverse Communities Through Financial Education and Empowerment on April 16
The AoD Disability Employment TA Center’s National Community of Practice (CoP) webinar, “Engaging Diverse Communities Through Financial Education and Empowerment,“ will be hosted Tuesday, April 16, 2024, from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm ET.
Join the AoD Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC) for a webinar to increase awareness about National Financial Capability Month. Financial education is a key first step on the pathway towards financial health and wellbeing to live more independently in the community. The Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities funded a three-year initiative with the National Disability Institute (NDI) called Financial Wellness for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). The panel will highlight how this train-the-trainers model in Illinois provided training to individuals with I/DD and their family members to manage money, reduce debt, and use credit wisely. The training was customized based on individualized needs ranging from a short class to a 10-module curriculum. While we often focus on helping people with disabilities find jobs, this webinar will highlight a model to ensure we also provide a roadmap on the importance of making good financial decisions to further increase independence.
Presenters:
- Kimberly Mercer-Schleider: Director, Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities
- Michael Roush: Director, National Disability Institute
- Tyson Bedford: Council Member, Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities
- Curtis Harris: Council Member, Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities
Registration is required. Please register for this webinar here.
