RSA Workshops 2008 - 2009

PATHWAYS TO UNDERSTANDING

Regional Support Associates, their community partners and the Southern Network of Specialized Care, are pleased to once again offer a broad range of educational programs for front-line staff and managers.

This workshop series covers important issues in the field of intellectual disabilities today and builds upon the existing skill base of those that support individuals with intellectual disabilities in Southwestern Ontario. Our aim is to motivate participants beyond their experience and offer tools to improve their day-to-day work.
