Summer is over

Hope everyone had a great summer and eager to get the ball rolling. We started off the Fall season with a week of Michael Smull. He spent two more days of person centered thinking training. He also spent time with ELARC service coordinators, Board of directors and families. We are in the next stages of planning and looking at providing weekly PCT training for vendors, families and service coordinators. We hope that this will be on the way by the end of year no later then January. The two day training will be broken into 4 modules. Therefore the two days can be completed in one month time in three hour blocks of time. We are hoping that this format will make the training more available to all and then can be done on an ongoing basis so if you are not able to attend module 2 one month you can get back on track the next following month so that you can complete the whole two day training.


We are looking to schedule two more training in the area of End of Life wishes using person centered approaches and Positive and productive meetings. I will be coordinating with Leigh Ann Kingsbury and Amanda George who are experts in these two areas and are intrested in assisting in the near future.

We also had Jack Pearpoint and Lynda Kahn out in September. To gather more of the type of training that they do you can go to www.inclusion.com. There training was on how to make a difference. They provided a multi media presentation that was very interactive and exercise driven. Check there work out.
