If Kansas City isn't in your plans or simply too far away from you but you

would like to

experience these kinds of trainings, contact us today to see if one is

coming closer to you!

A crossroads looms. The promise of freedom has not yet come to all our

citizens. What we originally thought about Self-Determination, and its

applicability, is now vastly expanded. People in the recovery movement,

older adults, and those with physical and developmental disabilities yearn

to craft meaningful lives for themselves.

Self-Determination is the way to face together the current perfect fiscal

storm and not just survive - but flourish in an environment fraught with

potential cutbacks and support scarcity. There may be no other alternative!

FIND OUT why knowing this information is critically

important to YOU and the future of all people in need of support.

FIND OUT as well how states can respond positively to the aspirations of the

citizens they serve.

You will learn the answers to all of these questions and much more!

Self-Determination Principles

Ø What is the difference between Self-Determination and self-direction and

why does it matter?

Ø How does the Recovery Model fit with Self-Determination?

Ø How can older adults with disabilities benefit from Self-Determination?

Ø How is Self-Determination implemented for people with significant

intellectual and other disabilities?

Ø Freedom - Does it mean I can do anything I want?

Implementation Issues

How can we make individual budgeting work in an economically strained

environment?

How do we balance rights and responsibility

in Self-Determination?

How do we take a value-based approach

and really implement it?

What are the tools to help make

this easier to implement? Quality not Compliance

What are the Real Life Quality Standards and how do they differ from

accreditation?

How is quality different in

Self-Determination and what does it really require of us?

Real Lives/Real Outcomes

Ø What are the outcomes of Self-Determination?

Ø What about health and safety?

Ø Why is there so much emphasis on where and with whom someone lives and

control of one's living environment?

Ø Why are community membership and relationships so important to

Self-Determination?

Ø Can everyone generate private income?

Ø Is personal impoverishment a perpetual requirement?

Ø How is the production of income different from employment?

Ø How much risk is rational and how is it mitigated?

" Take Aways " The first 100 registrants for each session will receive

personal copies

of the newly revised books from the Center for Self-Determination:

The Guidebook for Implementing Real Life Quality Standards

&

The Guidebook for the Development and

Implementation of Individual Budgets

Inventing the Future:

Implementing Self-Determination Across Disability and Aging

The Center for Self-Determination is the primary international clearinghouse

for information, training, and technical assistance devoted to moving power

and authority over resources directly to individuals who have disabilities,

their families, and allies.

The Center's goal is nothing less than the

complete transformation of the publicly funded system

of long-term supports based on the principles of Self-Determination.
