Summit 2023 - Session 9: Charting the LifeCourse in Ohio's Schools

The Charting the LifeCourse framework was developed by families to help individuals with disabilities and families at any age or stage of life develop a vision for a good life, think about what they need to know and do, identify how to find or develop supports, and discover what it takes to live the lives they want to live. The Ohio Department of Education Office for Exceptional Children has joined as a partner in this work with other Ohio agencies, including the Ohio State University Nisonger Center, by training 128 LifeCourse ambassadors across the state, building internal capacity within the Department of Education, and intentionally making connections across agencies, organizations and spaces to support families in utilizing this framework and tools to create their good life. Participants in this session will learn about what Charting the LifeCourse is, where and how to access the associated tools, what is happening in Ohio and what opportunities exist to to join in this movement as a family member and/or educational leader.
