How would you feel if you sat in a meeting that was for you, but people talked about you and did not fully include you?   What if your life was not truly your own and you could not make decisions about your life? This happens to many people with disabilities!  Do you want to make sure you are always putting the person you serve first?  Session two of our Team Development Course will focus on the importance of person-centeredness not just in team meetings, but in all that we do.

Objectives: 

1. Reflect on the lack of a person-centered focus for many people with disabilities in our society and how this has impacted their lives.
2. Understand the importance of person-centered practices and what a difference a person-first team focus can do in the life of a person with a disability.
3. Increase awareness and learn strategies to ensure all teams you work with have a person-centered focus.
