of "allowable activities". Individualized Services Plans:
Empowering
People with Disabilities provides a guideline for those wishing to
improve the plans written in their agencies (Day Support, Residential,
Assisted Living, LCF). The book includes examples of field-tested
objectives, written in a simple fashion allowing for maximum time
with the client. Just pick a category (such as communication skills,
activities of daily living, healthy living techniques, self advocacy,
personal hygiene, or community integration) and you will be taken
to hundreds of pre written goals and objectives that have been utilized,
tested, and successfully implemented by other agencies.
A simple, easy to use, publication that maximizes the healthcare worker's
time and creates quality service plans for individuals with disabilities.
The pre-written objectives are not designed as a “one-size fits
all” solution but rather a way to generate new ideas and ensure
comprehensive services by examining goals and objectives that have
worked for other agencies and clients.
Individualized Service Plans provides a format for individuals wishing
to learn more about designing fully inclusive services for individuals
with disabilities. The materials presented have been gathered using
an interdisciplinary team of case managers, QMRPs, training specialists,
recreational therapists, behavioral management consultants, and policy
makers – all wishing to improve the service system, and thus
the lives, of individuals with disabilities.
