The SABES Program Support PD team is offering coaching this year to help your program become more disability inclusive. Coaching is responsive and tailored, and is focused on what is realistic for your program.

Coaching topics can include:  

• Use of the Basic Disability Screening for Adult Education
• Disability culture
• ADA standards and expectations
• Role of the ADA coordinator
• Referral processes and testing
• Accommodations

At a minimum, your program will commit to: 

• Sharing one to three program-specific goals
• Inviting your staff to participate
• A plan to share your learnings with other staff
• One to three live meetings with the coach
• Completing action steps between meetings
• Completing a follow-up survey

Why participate in coaching? 

• Responsive and tailored guidance
• Focus is on your own program’s needs
• Coaching meets you where you are
• Only commit to doing what is realistic and feasible
• Articulate action steps and plans with your colleagues

Here is what others have to say about this opportunity:
