As Aspire to Innovate

Best “Aspirational” Practices

6

◎ Maximize Community and

Natural Supports

◎ Maximize Time in

Community

◎ Manage Staff and Ratios ◎ Scheduling: Avoid Global

One Size Fits All

◎ Person-Driven ◎ Purposeful ◎ Community-Based ◎ Facilities and Location ◎ Career-Driven

“

There is no no “One ne Size ze Fits All” design to approaching CBDS. Many variables—including age agency size ze, ge geogr graph aphic locati ation, and th the go goal als & & needs of the people—will determine CBDS program specs.

◎ Narrow set of activities; Not purposeful ◎ Lack of knowledge of community ◎ Lack of connection with employment ◎ “Plugging” people into staff-chosen

activities

◎ Lack of self-advocacy and self

determination by individuals

◎ “Special” activities that segregate ◎ Large groups ◎ Over-reliance on “the building” ◎ Staffing ◎ Transportation
