Best Practices – Individual

Practice: Recently, I visited an individual and her mother in Miami receiving CDC services. Last year this individual was invited to a symposium in Portugal to share with the community and other people with communication barriers on how to communicate and use his technology (computer attached to the wheelchair). He uses this technology to break down barriers to communicating with others. At the same time the dream of this individual is to have his own radio station programs, provide jobs and invite other individuals and speakers to his studio to share their own experiences. With the help of the WSC they are working on presenting a plan to VR in order to get some assistance in solving the cost of the studio that will be located in one of their bedrooms and communicate via internet.

Who Benefits? How? ​Individual and others in the community by breaking down barriers to communicating with others.

How could others apply this in practice? ​Networking, communicating and sharing that all goals and dreams are possible.
