that clearly demonstrates client involvement, a person centered approach,
and a focus on health and well being – all within the boundaries
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.
