this webinar. Messages can be
typed into the chat/message box

Self-Determination or Self-Direction?
“As a result, self-direction measures the adequacy
of the services, the person’s control of these
services, and the person’s satisfaction with them.
Admirable steps in a new direction,
Self-Determination sees supports and public dollars as
means to an end not an end in itself. Lives of high
purpose require a deeper foundation.”

What Title IX is: Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is the landmark federal law that bans sex discrimination in schools, whether it is in curricular, extra-curricular or athletic activities.
Title IX states: “No person in the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal aid.”
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is in compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, 20 U.S.C. 1681 et esq. (Title IX), and its implementing regulation, at 34 C.F.R. Part 106, which prohibits discrimination based on sex. The MDE, as a recipient of federal financial assistance from the United States Department of Education (ED), is subject to the provisions of Title IX. MDE does not discriminate based on gender in employment or in any educational program or activity that it operates.
The designated individual at the Michigan Department of Education for inquiries and complaints regarding Title IX is:
