Description

 

Mainstream sources say that “adulting” means to behave in an adult manner, engage in activities associated with adulthood, and attend to the ordinary tasks required of a responsible adult. In this session, guests Barton and Megan Cutter, along with attendees with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (I/DD), will share some of their adulting stories related to relationships, working, playing, and just plain living. Have you used a “bailout plan” on a date? Has a stranger ever asked you personal questions that started with “Because you have a disability…”? Do you have a story about your first or best kiss? Join us and share your stories about adulting as a person with I/DD.

About this webinar series: The Self-Advocate Discussion Series is hosted by the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities and is held on the third Wednesday of each month. The series aims to keep North Carolina self-advocates informed and engaged in discussion on topics of social and systems change. Series sessions are a time to connect with others with lived experience and common interests, and to develop impact strategies for telling personal stories, and stay connected with the NCCDD community. Learn more about the Self-Advocate Discussion Webinar Series
