Date: Monday, September 21
Time: 10:00am
Location/Online Link: TBD
We need to ensure these assessments are fair, accurate and truly serve the people who rely on them. Join us, stay informed, and make sure your perspective is represented.

Indinaa AAC Summit
Ready to make AI work for you? Join us for the 2026 Indiana AAC Summit when we host Lauren Schwartz Gonzales for her session, "AAC + Observation + AI = Magic: Amplifying Communication Through What Really Matters".
Lauren says “Here's what it IS about: the magic of truly observing AAC users, leaning in close, and discovering what REALLY matters to each person. Then, creating a “plan” for REAL immersive AAC language experiences that are entirely student/communicator led. AI is simply the tool that gives us speedy or “souped up” ideas once we have those observations. The real work—the relationship-building, the curiosity, the presuming of potential—that's all us! This workshop teaches you to become an expert observer first. Then we show you how AI can accelerate the creation of materials that honor what you've discovered”.
Registration opens April 1st. Visit our website https://indianaaacsummit.com/.

In collaboration with the Division of Disability, Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DDARS), Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services, we at the Center on Community Living and Careers (CCLC) invite you to attend the following webinar: "Resources and Updates: Benefits and Financial Planning Services for Individuals with Disabilities."

This webinar is ideal for VR participants and other individuals with disabilities, families, case managers, employment specialists, DDARS staff, and other stakeholders who support and serve individuals with disabilities.
A key goal of the VR program is to improve competitive, integrated employment for individuals with disabilities. Benefits and financial planning are critical to supporting this goal. The enhancements and modifications to VR BFP services aim to accomplish the following:
• Simplify and streamline VR benefits planning service provision
• Improve consistency around benefits and work incentives counseling that encourages individuals to maximize employment earnings while reducing misinformation and fears
• Reduce duplication and better leverage available benefits planning resources
• Improve capacity for timely provision of benefits and work incentive counseling services
• Support a continuum of benefits planning services, before and after employment
