Beyond Person-Centered Thinking:
Assuring self-determination and social capital building with, and not for, job seekers with disabilities.

This session features two National APSE Board members, Tricia Jones-Parkin and Kie O’Donnell. We’ll focus on strategies and tools to enhance involvement and ownership with the jobseeker and the support team through the career planning process with actionable steps, including:

  • Essential values and principles of person-centered thinking and competitive integrated employment
  • Tools you can use to implement what you’ve learned

Innovative Person Driven Low/High Technology Accommodation Tools
This session features Jennifer White, CEO, Able Opportunities, Inc., and examines the lens we use to define supports and accommodation tools, then incorporates the use of high and low-tech accommodations built with and by advocates with disabilities. These tools have a track record of success to address:

  • low motivation
  • passive and aggressive interactions
  • shifting services from compliance (I’ll show you) to alliance (I’ll support you to make reference tools you can use on your own)
  • new twists on low tech accommodations
  • apps as accommodations to gain independence
  • samples of self-advocacy film, customer videos, video training
  • options for sequencing tools to build calendars, learn task steps. cook
  • financial literacy, connecting production and earnings
  • examples and templates for creating “How To” training tools
  • large file of resources
