PowerPoint: The CMS HCBS Rule: It’s All About the Person
Handout: Make it Happen - Indiana
Handout: Interests to Engagement - Blank

This video presents the person (and their uniqueness) from a positive strengths-based point of view.

Indiana Interest - This is a list of interests generated during the training. This list shows the vast number of interests that people are engaged in. Over 300 interests were identified in less than 10 minutes.

This list can be used by providers to expose individuals to various interests: 

• Show videos 
• Use online resources to investigate the interest option 
  
• Bring in guest speakers 
  
• Find community connections around the various interest options and support individuals to connect with others
  

In the process of exposing/educating individuals, the individuals are learning (i.e. meaningful day) and the provider is simultaneously discovering more and more about what is important to the person (i.e. interests – meaningful day).

Again, a big thank you to the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities for their generous sponsorship. If you have not yet done so, we ask that you remember to please complete the survey sent to registered attendees after Wednesday's event.
