Product Description:

DeBrine, E., Caldwell, J., Factor, A., Heller, T., Keiling, K., & Kramer, J. (2009). The future is now: A future planning training curriculum for families and their adult relatives with developmental disabilities (revised edition). Chicago: Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Aging with Developmental Disabilities, University of Illinois at Chicago. - This curriculum equips families and their adult relative with a disability with the communication skills and information to jointly plan for the future. Participants learn how to overcome the emotional and systematic barriers to planning with the support of peer mentors who have made plans. They prepare a letter of intent that lays out their dreams for the future and identifies the steps required to transform this dream into a reality. This state-of-the-art approach to future planning was developed, implemented and evaluated by the RRTCADD. It is an excellent resource for agencies, family organizations and advocacy groups.
