Register for the webinar
Join the Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC) for a webinar to increase awareness about National Financial Capability Month. 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 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.
Speakers:
- Kimberly Mercer-Schleider, Director, Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities
- Michael Roush, Director, NDI
- Tyson Bedford, Council Member, Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities
- Curtis Harris, Council Member, Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities
Registrants can note accommodation needs — such as captioning or sign language — on the registration page. The webinar will be live captioned. Webinars are recorded and posted with supporting materials on the DETAC website.
