Home is a vital part of our lives. It provides us with security, privacy, comfort and control, and also reflects our identity, adulthood and deep sense of who we are and how we connect and belong in our neighborhood. Yet for many people with intellectual disability and autism, they have little control over the decisions that most others take for granted, as ‘home’ is designed by others. This workshop will explore individualised and innovative ways that people with a disability have created their own home, while getting the support they need.
About the topic:
- What does it really mean to have your own home and is it possible?
- Vision for home
- First steps when creating a home of your own
- Living in your own home and settling in
- Home options and creative supports
- Addressing barriers and fears
- Home as a part of community
- Setting up for long term safety and success
Who Should Attend?
This workshop will be relevant to people with developmental disabilities, their families and supporters as they think through how they can move into and thrive in a home they can call their own. There will be a limited number of tickets available for workers.
