2 We are all family members 20 Family Advisors located throughout Pennsylvania Advisors bring their personal experiences and knowledge to share with other families Work in collaboration with stakeholders for positive change Supported by the Office of Developmental Programs 3

3 What we do: Workshops for families across the state Individual and small group mentoring Help families connect and support each other Help families find resources and supports in their community Inform Connect Support 4

4 Pennsylvania s approach to the Community of Practice: Develop the the PA Family Network Encourage the launch of Regional Collaboratives across PA Support Self-Advocates United as One to build local groups Continue to uphold and teach concepts of Person-Centered Thinking Involve the PA Sibling Support Network and Ambassadors Renew waivers to reflect supporting families and everyday lives Continually learn and share learning with all who touch families lives 6

5 Core Belief: All people and their families have the right to live, love, work, play and pursue their life aspirations in their community.

6 What is the LifeCourse Framework? 10

7 Why is it so important to have a vision? Having a vision sets the dream, the positive expectation for the future. Without a vision, there is no expectation of what the future might look like. And if we don t have a vision of our own, someone else may determine it and we might not really like what they choose! 11

8 Research shows. The most powerful force in changing transition outcomes for young people with significant disabilities is not ultimately found in the transition plans we craft, the educational services we offer, the instruction we provide, or the systems we build, but rather in the expectations and aspirations individual parents hold for their sons and daughters. - Erik Carter What Matters Most: Research on Elevating Parent Expectations 12

9 Envisioning an Everyday Life The future is not something we enter. The future is something that we create. And creating that future requires us to make choices and decisions that begin with a dream. --Leonard Sweet 14
