Practices in Action: Learning Person-Centered Practices provides an overview of the history of lived experiences of individuals with developmental disabilities in Washington State, from institutionalization to community supported living. Participants will explore the importance of respecting the humanity, dignity, and rights of those we support. This workshop provides an introduction into Person-Centered Practices: supporting individuals in a way that values their perspectives, desires, beliefs, and preferences. You will also become familiar with State requirements related to Individual Instruction and Support Plan, Person-Centered Support Plans, and Habilitative Goals, ensuring your practices are aligned with legal and ethical standards. Additionally, the workshop provides an opportunity for self-reflection to consider how caregivers’ own lived experiences and culture influence their work.
