A Session with Angela Amado
For Families and Family Support Providers
June 4, 10am to 11:30 am
Crowne Plaza/The Verve, 1360 Worcester Road (Route 9), Natick

A key activity of The Arc through “Widening the Circle” and “Pathways to Friendship” is to increase the number of people in Massachusetts who understand the importance of friendships in peoples’ lives and who are willing and able to reach out to others to spread the word.

We are happy to have Angela Novak Amado with us in Massachusetts.  Her work supports communities to be fully inclusive of all people. She has conducted training about friendships between people with intellectual/developmental disabilities and ordinary community members in more than 30 states, Canada, Australia, Israel, and five European countries.

Angela also conducts training in person-centered planning and person-centered agency and system design. She has published papers on many major aspects of community building with people with disabilities and has worked with many government, social and faith-based organizations on major projects.

This post from February 2018 gives you a sense of her passion and work.  (https://tinyurl.com/y5xqr6b6)
