You decide. You control. You are the boss. Self-Determination & Self-Directed Supports at Inclusa
Self-Determination is a theory of motivation which focuses on individuals having control over their lives and exercising the basic rights of citizenship, freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
A Self-Determined life encourages choice, risk, and responsibility, and is associated with greater independence and improved quality of life. Self-Directed Supports(SDS) is one option available to support Self-Determination, supporting the person to be more involved in directing services in the way that works for them.
- You decide who you want to provide your services and supports.
- You control how your budget is used for services.
- You are the boss of your caregivers and services; you hire, train, supervise, and fire your direct care workers.
Commonunity® is built from the belief that everyone deserves the right to control his/her life and actively participate in full citizenship. A Self-Determined life fosters unity in the common good for all where everyone can consider: I can do anything I want to. I can be anything I want to be.
Compassion for the Sum of Our Wholeness
Somehow, somewhere, we will all be touched by someone with cognitive decline. The symptoms of dementia and the diseases associated with it are widespread. Looking through the lens of “It might be me someday,” what would you want others to know?
I came up with a short list. Perhaps we could all take a moment, add our own requests, and pause the next time we are feeling impatient or irritated with someone experiencing dementia.
I will. Will you join me?
Please remember I am doing my best.
Please remember the sum of my life.
Please remember I have needs and wants.
Please remember to give me scheduled pain reliever for my arthritis.
Please remember I am trying to communicate something—a thought, a feeling, a need.
Please remember I don’t like watching television.
Please remember I like the out-of-doors, if I am dressed warmly enough.
Please remember I love animals.
Please remember these things for me when I cannot.
Your turn…
