This informative presentation provides discussion and analysis
regarding the commonalties and differences between the IHP,
ISP and the Futures Planning process. Focus is given to the
essential elements of a Futures Planning process. Strategies
for identifying the dreams and priorities of individuals are
discussed in detail. Though form and format of the Futures
Planning process is briefly discussed, primary emphasis is
given to the use of generic supports, overcoming the
restrictions of highly regulated environments, effectively
utilizing available resources and empowering direct contact
staff to serve as active learning instructors in the process. Dr.
Tom Pomeranz emphasizes the process to identify the
preferences and desires of individuals who require pervasive
support. The training is grounded in the belief that “people
cannot have a future if they don’t have a presence.” Tom
convincingly makes the point that Futures Plans can be
successfully developed and realized in highly regulated
environments.
