| 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.
