Self-Determination
Everyone has a Story; Your Voice Matters!
October 17-19, 2022
Kalahari Resort, Wisconsin Dells, WI & Virtually
People tell stories in many ways: words, pictures, images, and sounds.
Some might also say silence speaks volumes. We are excited to create new and unique opportunities for all of us to connect and to share our stories!
What’s your story? Our 15th annual Self-Determination Conference is a place to be with others, learn and support each other, and grow together. We are more determined than ever to help you think outside the box, be creative, and help you reach your best vision for your own life! This year, self-advocates will be able to share their stories so others can learn from their experiences.
By sharing our stories, we grow as a community. Through our stories, we share where we live, our culture, experiences, and more importantly, compassion,
understanding and new ideas. The Self-Determination Conference is an opportunity to listen so that we can learn from each other. The conference is a safe place to have these conversations and to celebrate together.
Words are powerful. Pictures are powerful. We are powerful!

How to Get CEU Credits During the Conference
Please read BEFORE you attend any sessions!
CRC/CEU credits are available in-person and in the virtual conference format and are provided by UW-Stevens Point.
In-Person: At the back of each breakout room and in the general session room you will find a QR Code. Use your phone to scan the QR code which will prompt a survey. After the session is over, the room moderator will share the CEU secret word you will use in the survey. If you need help finding the QR code, ask the room moderator. The survey will ask you a couple questions for proof of attendance as well as your name and email address. Your responses are compiled after the conference and the requested forms will be emailed to you.
Virtually: You will find a link to a survey and the session secret word in the Chat in each session.
