Breakout Session Descriptions
Independent By Design with CCRI
Join CCRI to learn about their Independent by Design Program. It is an alternative to traditional community residential setting care that allows flexibility to provide services tailored to the individual. These services are designed to adapt to the increasing or decreasing needs of individuals who live in their own homes. Services available include 24-hour emergency staff response with technology and supplemental support in areas including budgeting, menu planning, grocery shopping, assistance with medical appointments, and additional areas as identified.

Person Centered Thinking Basics
Learn about the core elements of Person-Centered Thinking, and put you and your family’s individualized support needs as the top priority as you plan for the future. We’ll discuss how to balance health and safety with the things that bring joy to your life, and supports you might need along the way.

Supported Decision Making
Join the Freedom Resource Center to discuss Supported Decision Making, and start thinking about tools that could help your family. Power of attorney, health care directives, releases of information, joint bank accounts: The list goes on! There are many ways to help people with disabilities make decisions, and no two support systems are the same.

Future Focused Collage Making
Sometimes it can be hard to put pen to paper and plan out the future, so we’ll be using scissors and glue sticks instead. Come get crafty with us! Participants will get their creative juices flowing while they think about the things that are important to and for them, and their future goals.

Lived Experience Presentation: Successful Perspective in Supportive Decision Making
Join Addie and Marisa as they discuss their journey in Supported Decision Making. Addie is currently in college and gets support from her mother, Marisa in a variety of ways. Come learn what has worked for them, and get some ideas that may help your own family.

Putting it all together with Charting the LifeCourse
Charting the LifeCourse has tools to help you think about many areas of transition. From Supported Decision Making, to Health Care, to Daily Life and Employment, these tools can help you take control over your plans for the future.
