How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Immersive Experiential Training for Culture Changemethodology: experiential_educationBy using immersive role-playing and experiential learning, we produce lasting shifts in caregiver and provider behavior because experiencing disability firsthand builds empathy and internalizes proactive, person-centered practices more effectively than didactic training alone.
- Person-Centered, Proactive Support Modelmethodology: person_centered_proactive_supportBy centering the individual's goals, gifts, and abilities in all planning and support, we produce more effective and dignified outcomes because this approach fosters autonomy, prevents behavioral crises, and builds trust through non-coercive, positive supports rather than punitive interventions.
