Nicky faced an uncertain future after aging out of his restrictive residential program at age 22 without transition planning. His parents took action two years prior by bringing together a team from Nicky's school, residential provider, day program, and state agencies. They developed an individualized "hybrid" shared living and day program model. Since moving to this new set of supports, Nicky has shown dramatic improvements in behaviors, skills, and community inclusion, defying expectations of his trajectory without change. The presentation encourages early transition planning and empowering families to affect change.
The document is a hospitality brochure from Pugin Hall at Maynooth College. It provides information on Pugin Hall, which was built in the 1840s and named after architect Augustus Pugin. It is considered one of his finest works and features portraits of early college professors. Pugin Hall is used for major college events like banquets and conferences. The brochure then provides details on catering services available at the college, including menus for light meals, lunches, hot buffets, cold buffets, canapés, barbecues, and formal dining options. It concludes with terms and conditions for catering bookings.
Autism and Life Transitions: Hard Lessons Learned & Taught as a Person-Center...Cheryl Ryan Chan
In December of 2015, I presented this webinar to members of the National Association for Dual Diagnoses (thenadd.org). I've been conducting Person-Centered Plans for 4 years, and over that time I've seen a number of disturbing trends around the lack of understanding and planning for preparedness in transitioning students; in particular, in the areas of independent skill building specific to the anticipated environment, and personal safety skills. I feel it's important to talk about what I've observed and how my team of co-facilitators and I have identified and tackled these issues within the PCP process. I hope that the "lessons learned" will assist people in planning for IEP/ISP goals that can help maximize success. I offer it free to anyone who would like to attend.
Ethical dilemmas arise when individuals or groups must choose between options that involve wrongdoing or unethical actions. Common sources of ethical dilemmas include work-life balance issues, heavy workloads, unfair work distribution, lack of recognition, and office politics. Some examples of ethical dilemmas discussed are bribery, deception, handling black money, environmental issues, technological challenges, and deceptive advertising. Guidelines for managing ethical dilemmas include considering the overall benefits and costs (utility approach), respecting human rights, and ensuring a fair and just distribution of rewards and burdens (justice approach).
