Toward a Home of One's Own: A Workshop for Families on the Journey

The training manual for this workshop was developed by people with disabilities, parents, and members of the National Home of Your Own Alliance and is designed to assist parents, siblings, and individuals with disabilities in the process of allowing someone who has been viewed as vulnerable to move out into the world and develop an interdependent support network consisting of family members, friends, neighbors, and personal assistants. Through story sharing, panels, and discussion groups, everyone comes to see the issues from a number of angles and different perspectives.
