Advocacy
Preble DD encourages the people we serve to learn more about speaking up and making informed decisions in their lives. Our Advocacy Club members gain the skills they need to become their own best advocates.
LifeCourse Tools
Charting the LifeCourse (CtLC) was originally created by the University of Missouri-Kansas City Institute for Human Development, Missouri's UCEDD (University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities). We have modified it to help those we serve determine their definition of a fulfilled life.
