| Introduction to Self-Direction | | Price: $7.50 | |
The compact disc includes four training modules, one geared toward families and three geared toward people with intellectual disabilities. They promote the importance of having dreams, making responsible choices, and exercising control over one's life.
MODULE 1 (PART A): SELF-DIRECTION: DREAMING
In this module, participants are introduced to the term “self-direction” and what it means for us as we live our lives. Participants are asked to think about dreams not as the things that go on inside their heads while asleep, but as the things they want to have happen in their lives when they are awake. Dreams are hopes for happy lives, filled with joy and meaningful connections to family, friends, and community.
MODULE 1 (PART B): SELF-DIRECTION: MAKING CHIOCES AND PLANNING
In this module, participants are introduced to the idea that we all make choices each day, some big, some small. The choices that the participants make show how they want to live their lives. Participants are also introduced to the ideas of how to use their dreams and choices to plan their lives.
MODULE 2: SELF-DIRECTION: DREAMING, MAKING CHOICES AND PLANNING
In this module, participants are introduced to the concepts in Module 1 (parts A and B) in an abbreviated format that can be presented in one session.
MODULE 3: SELF-DIRECTION: AN INTRODUCTION FOR FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS
This module is designed for family members, advocates, service providers and other support persons. It introduces the principles of self-direction and encourages a new approach to supporting people with disabilities.
