ABILITY360 PROGRAM
This is My Life
Self-Advocacy and Self-Determination Skills Classes for people who have DDD Services
Learn the skills to have a say in your own life, your supports and services.
About the Program
At Ability360, we know self-determination and self-advocacy skills for all people with developmental disabilities (like: Cerebral Palsy, Cognitive/Intellectual Disability, Autism, Epilepsy, or Down Syndrome) are very important. This is MY Life (TIML) program was designed to encourage and teach people 16 and older who receive services from the Arizona’s Division of Developmental Disabilities, (DDD) to speak up for themselves so they can make more life choices and choose the direction of their own lives.
The TIML program is a free, no DDD service dollars used, grant funded program by the Arizona Department of Economic Security/Division of Developmental Disabilities (DES/DDD).
Trainings on Self-Advocacy & Self-Determination
