2026 Inclusion Alberta Family Conference

This is a practical hands-on day where families will have the opportunity to learn to think in surprisingly ordinary ways to imagine and plan for an inclusive, good life in community for, and with, their family member with an intellectual disability. Janet will be joined by a family who is on this journey themselves, and together they will use relatable stories from childhood to adulthood, share tried and true strategies and provide participants with the means to imagine and practice new ideas and ways forward. 

In this day-long workshop, you will learn: 

• The essential building blocks for a vision that will sustain you and your family member. 
• Strategies to bring about the things that really matter – roles, relationships, and places of belonging, by focusing on these key questions: 
• Where do their passions and interests lie? 
• Who might they truly be? 
• What can they contribute to others? 
• Who will be in their life? 
• How to see and use the abundance of resources you may not even know are at your fingertips by looking at what is right in front of us in a different way. 
• What to do while life is not moving forward as quickly as desired – or how to ‘pick the low hanging fruit’ which awaits you with minimum effort, resources, and stress.
