"Participant-Driven
Supports: Frequently Asked Questions And Responses" The questions
asked touch on a number of areas, such as the capacity of individuals to
play empowered roles, mechanical "how to" issues, financing and cost, and
impacts on service providers and other system structures. Professionals,
self-advocates, and advocates alike have been working to resolve these
issues, putting the puzzle pieces of participant-driven supports together.
While there are no "final" answers, the intent of this paper is to identify
and address some of the questions currently raised about participant-driven
supports. |
