Parent Training Series (Coming Soon)

OCALI will provide training materials to help parent support group leaders to allow them to offer topic-focused information sessions at monthly meetings. The OCALI training modules will be designed to be presented in 1.5 hours, allowing time for questions and discussion within a typical 2-hour program. The training modules will provide information on various topics of interest such as sibling issues, sexuality, transition to the community, and using visual supports at home. They will be based on best practice models or services and will be designed to be practical and easily adaptable for implementation by families.

Each training kit will include a facilitator’s guide and a PowerPoint presentation, in addition to a training booklet for distribution to attendees. The facilitator’s guide will include interactive discussion questions and ideas for application. The training kits will be available to parent group leaders at no cost through the Lending Library.
