November Educational Series Topics – November 19:
Advocacy and Social Inclusion 101: For over 60 years The Arc of Nebraska has provided advocacy to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. This non-profit governed by a Board of Directors has over 1,500 members across the state. In this series, Edison McDonald from the Arc of Nebraska will share the wide range of programs and services offered to meet the needs of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Participants will walk away with advocacy information related to voting, employment, special education, Medicaid, and wait lists and will also be available to answer more specific questions as time allows.
Behavior and Sleep Routines: Sleep disturbances have proven to be a common concern for families with individuals with Ds. Behaviors associated with sleep (both positive and negative) have been studied and well documented. In this series, Matt McNiff, Behavior Specialist for ESU #5, will discuss the issues of sleep disturbances, sleep study information, and sleep behaviors and the importance of developing a sleep routine.
