Vision of the Learning Community
All people have positive control over the lives they have chosen for themselves
Purpose of the Learning Community
To foster a global community that shares knowledge about supporting people in getting the lives they want. Our focus is on people who do not have positive control or are at risk of losing positive control because of society's response to the presence of a disability.
The Gathering is being organized by Learning Community Mentors and Trainers: Bill Allen, Allen Shea and Associates, Sheila Keys, Redwood Coast Regional Center, Cindy Gilliam Sullivan, Redwood Coast Regional Center and Claudia Bolton, NorthStar Services and CIRCL.
