In preparation for Maryland Developmental Disability Day on 2/22/18 in Annapolis
we will be hosting

FREE Advocacy Training on 2/7

from 10am - 12pm at our Maryland Line Fire Depratment

Due to an overwhelming response, we have had to relocate this Wednesday’s Advocacy Training to a larger space right across the street:

Wednesday, February 7th

10am-12pm

Maryland Line Fire Department

21631 York Rd

Maryland Line, MD 21105 

We also see that the weather forecast is calling for an icy mix Wednesday morning.

If Baltimore County Public Schools are closed, we will postpone the training to:

Friday, February 9th

10am-12pm

also at the Maryland Line Fire Department



This is a Maryland-focused Advocacy Training that will cover topics relevant to Developmental Disability Day, such as:

-Penn-Mar’s plan for attending DD Day, and identifying Penn-Mar self-advocates
and families who would like to participate

-The itinerary for Developmental Disabilities Day (2/22) in Annapolis

-How Penn-Mar families can identify their legislators & clear advocacy messaging
to share with them

-The importance of a 3.5% wage increase for Direct Support Professionals 

We will be hosting a Pennsylvania Advocacy Training later this spring

This training will NOT cover school-related advocacy needs such as navigating an IEP
or securing a non-public placement.For advocacy assistance in these fields, please contact Disability Rights Maryland: https://disabilityrightsmd.org/
