Keys to Success: Learn Skills for Everyday Life
Keys to Success is an interactive training program from VALID Connect that helps people with disability build confidence, speak up, and make their own choices.
It includes practical activities, easy-to-use resources, and supportive trainers who make learning fun and useful. It’s all about learning skills you can use every day.
Self-Advocacy to Advocacy
From Speaking Up to Leading Change
This workshop builds on Keys to Success and helps people with disability take the next step—from speaking up for themselves to creating change for others.
It’s about growing leadership skills and learning how to make a difference in the community.

Abuse and neglect are never okay.
The Staying Safe workshop helps people with disability build the confidence and skills to speak up, ask for help, and get support when they need it.
