This presentation will focus on the environment in which the service provider addresses the individual needs of each consumer and their family is changing rapidly.  The self-directed approach of consumers selecting providers creates an atmosphere of “competition” throughout the provider network.  Many times the only difference between two different providers will be their attention to detail and their ability to uniquely focus on the needs of the client in a professional and appealing manner.  This workshop will address the basic approach to providing a “customer friendly environment” along with suggestions for a coordinated plan of action that is applicable to every residential facility or day program environment.

This workshop will review the concept of "normalization" and the interpretation of clients rights vs. responsibilities as it relates to creating expectations and opportunities for individual growth in residential and day settings.  An understanding of the continuum of support offered to individuals with developmental disabilities will suggest that more effort be placed on the "art and science" of engagement and teaching rather than on basic care giving.

 This presentation will offer an alternative that is simple to understand but may be the most challenging thing that professionals have ever attempted to do in their careers. It is simple because we utilize these techniques everyday in our own lives. It is difficult because it may require a fundamental change in the way in which we define our jobs, our success, and outcomes. 

The ultimate goal is for professionals to become “invisible” support and to have everyday citizens move to the forefront and embrace individuals with disabilities as their fellow citizens.

Not for Profits as For Profits in the service industry can no longer afford to continue their support of out dated management practices.  Business today must plan fast and respond to change even quicker.  This session will cover principals of participatory management as a way to involve employees across an organization in setting the pace for this new century.  Specific techniques such as retreats, matching staff performance to the mission and objectives of the company and problem-solving at the most appropriate level within a firm will be presented as well as the necessary ingredients and processes that must be in place to support successful self-directed teams.  

The specific objectives for this session are:

1. Participants will learn about the principals, policies and processes that underpin participatory management and the benefits from implementing this system successfully.

2. Participants will participate in staff development activities and learn how to replicate their use in their own organizations.

4. Participants will learn how to use a problem solving model that focuses on group input in a structured manner with clear outcomes and roles.
