March Topic: Unique Journeys: Enhancing Independence for Every Individual 

Independence looks different for everyone, but the power of exploration, routine, and trying can lead to transformative growth. This session will focus on empowering individuals with diverse abilities and their caregivers by highlighting the importance of stepping back to allow greater participation in daily life. Through strategies, practical approaches, and acknowledgment of the incredible support caregivers already provide, participants will leave feeling inspired and equipped to further foster independence and enhance the quality of life for those they care for.
