Living Options - Info On 4 Options for Living Arrangements

Living Options:
Information on four options for living arrangements for a person with a disability.

A presentation by Lisa Martin, Disability Connect.

This seminar explores the four main living arrangements for a person with a disability including information about supports available under each option, funding arrangements, who the providers are, benefits and challenges of each option, etc.

This seminar is ideal for families of a young adult with a disability who is approaching the age or ‘readiness’ to leave home.

Options discussed include:
- Residential Care
- Supported Living
- Choice in Community Living
- Family Governed models
