Thoughts about my life - This is a great piece developed by Karen Manning, Robin Reale, Michael Smull and Liz Obermeyer. It's a workbook that gives people a way to write stories about their lives. Those stories can be used to help facilitate planning meetings. They can also help family, friends and service agencies pay attention to what people say is important to them. Give it a try, you'll like what you see!
Listen to me is a way to get started in helping someone move towards the life that he or she wants to lead. It can be used by individuals and/or family members as a way to get ready for an ELP or individual service planning session. The workbook gives people a chance to think about the kinds of things that are important in their lives. It's in Adobe.pdf format. For information about companion pieces (e.g., Starting a Conversation, How to Complete a Planning Session, From LTM to Service Plan, etc.), please contact Steve Sweet at stevenmsweet@netscape.net.
