Creating A Vision For Life With Your Family Member Using Charting The LifeCourse Framework

The Charting the LifeCourse (CtLC) framework, developed by the University of Missouri Kansas City, Institute for Human Development, was created to help individuals and families of all abilities and all ages develop a vision for life, think about what they need to know and do, identify how to find or develop supports, and discover ways to help them to live their good life. Through engaging, hands-on activities, this workshop  will describe how this model is being implemented in New Jersey. Additionally, it will help families understand how to utilize the LifeCourse tools to help their loved ones with disabilities share what they want in their life and supports. Information on how the CtLC concepts can be used by people and families to improve communication with support coordinators in order to have plans that are authentically person-centered and identify and match a variety of community-based activities and supports with a person’s needs, interests, and preferences.

 

Note: This training currently is ONLY open to New Jersey developmental disability professionals, employees of DDD, and individuals with disabilities and family members.

To meet the training needs of the entire state, there is a limit of participants per agency for this training.
