New Issue of Possibilities in Education and Training Newsletter Available
The Spring issue of Possibilities, features Michael "Mikey" Howell's journey to independent living and showcases the impact of community support and perseverance. Mikey’s story highlights the importance of preparation, communication, and the right resources in achieving successful community living. His experience demonstrates that with patience and the right support, individuals can flourish in a community setting, making their own choices and embracing independence.
The transition wasn't without its challenges, but his dedicated clinical team and supportive programs like Money Follows the Person (MFP) and Systems Unlimited played crucial roles in ensuring his success. Mikey’s guardian, Kristin, emphasizes the value of thorough preparation and resilience, encouraging caregivers to learn from mistakes and never give up.
The newsletter also features six books that highlight inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in recognition of Disability Awareness Month that can be checked out at the Disability Resource Library.
