Coaching Session: Balancing Important To And Important For In Planning

Support Coordinators play a critical role in helping people with disabilities and their families develop a vision for one’s life .One of the key person-centered concepts involves thinking about what is “important to” the person and what is “important for” the person.  Support Coordinators will share real-life examples  based on case study of intentional person-centered approaches.
 
This collaborative coaching session provides a forum for Support Coordinators to share resources, collaborate to problem-solve common issues, and enhance skills through facilitated discussion.  Each session involves a brief introduction to the topic through use of key best practices, scenarios, case studies, and/or common experiences.  Participants will actively participate through guided conversation and sharing of strategies and promising practices.
 
Participants are expected to actively contribute to the conversation by coming prepared to brainstorm and share resources related to the topic.
 
Note: This training currently is ONLY open to DDD/Medicaid Approved Support Coordination agencies and Employees of DDD.
