Best Practices – Provider
Submission date: 5-11-07
Submitted by: Barbara Hawkins
Provider name: Visions ADT
APD Area: 14
Practice
The provider has assisted individuals to develop their own personal phonebooks. Individuals were assisted to make a page with their picture, phone number, and interests. They could then choose who they wanted to give their information to. Once information was exchanged, each person was assisted to put their phone books together for their own use.
Who Benefits? Individuals
How? Individuals benefit as they have been assisted to reach out and request information about friends at their ADT. This may then carryover so that their friendships are not dependent on them attending the same ADT; they have a resource to reach out and make contact so their lives are not so compartmentalized.
