| COURSE OFFERINGS Supported Routines - Best Practice Strategies for a Fulfilling Life |
This lively and informative session brings home the point that “habilitation is not a goal – it is a result.” People grow, develop and become more independent as a result of participating in meaningful life activities. The session details how supports should be delivered to allow individuals with significant cognitive, physical and/or behavioral challenges to participate in all aspects of their life. The session provides the participants with insight as to how our perceptions and expectations serve as barriers in providing support. The four supported routine outcomes (facilitating connections, maximizing independence, enhancing self-worth, and producing self-determination) are detailed and their life enhancing effects are reviewed. The maxim that “without a presence, there is no future” services as the foundation for this session. |
