Supported Routines:  Best Practice Strategies for A Fulfilling Life
Session 3
In this lively and informative session, Dr. Pomeranz 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. Tom 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 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” serves as the foundation for this session.
