SUPPORTED LIVING: AVOIDING TRAPS TO ACHIEVING
PERSON-CENTERED HOME AND COMMUNITY SUPPORTS
What's needed to make person-centered and individualized supports more commonplace?
Join presenters Lyle Romer and Sally Sehmsdorf, of Total Living Concept for this important training.
For 3 decades supported living has continued to evolve as a resource for people with developmental disabilities. More people are living in the community as opposed to living in institutions. Unfortunately, many institutional practices have followed people into their communities. This webinar explores ways to keep evolving the concept of person-centered and individualized supports in people's homes and their communities without falling into some of the traps that allow old ways of caring for people to continue to dominate their lives.
Presenters offer skill-sets and best practices to:
• Harness the power of asking the right questions and how to authentically listen to others.
• Develop the characteristics of person-centered home and community supports.
• Identify and overcome the challenges to offering person-centered supports to people and reducing service-imposed limitations.
• Examine good, local solutions and how to keep them from turning into the next "system".
