SDP in the IE: We’re All In
A Free Self-Determination Program Conference, Resource Fair, and Microenterprise Marketplace
Join us for SDP in the IE: We’re All In, a conference bringing together Self-Determination Program (SDP) participants, people interested in the SDP, family members, professionals, and community partners across the Inland Empire.
This in-person event will take place on Sunday, June 14. Registration and the resource fair begins at 8:15 AM and the conference program runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. They will feature a full day of learning, networking, and community building centered around California’s extraordinary Self-Determination Program.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in beginner and advanced sessions, designed to support individuals and families at every stage of their SDP journey. Sessions will be led by experienced self-advocates, family members, professionals, and community leaders who are dedicated to expanding access and knowledge of the SDP.
In addition to educational sessions, the event will include a resource fair, where attendees can connect with independent facilitators, FMSs, service providers, and others who can support you in the SDP. The Microenterprise Marketplace will introduce you to SDP participant-owned small businesses offering products and services.
This event is only for people served by Inland Regional Center (IRC) and is sponsored by IRC’s Local Volunteer Advisory Committee.
The full day is completely free, including continental breakfast, boxed lunch and parking for all registered attendees. Spanish interpretation will be provided as well as two sessions entirely in Spanish.
As a special bonus, attendees registered in advance will receive a complimentary copy of the book Think Outside the Box, written by Disability Voices United, a valuable guide to understanding and navigating the Self-Determination Program.
Whether you are new to SDP, supporting a loved one, or working in the field, SDP in the IE: We’re All In is an opportunity to learn, connect, and strengthen our community together.
