Sometimes you have to think outside the box to find the things you really want. Everyone is different, and awesome in their own unique way!
A Lofty Ambition
Don't let anyone stop you from pursing your dreams!
Having a Good Day!
Having a "good day" means different things for different people, but there's no "wrong answer", as long as YOUR good day means doing that things that matter most to YOU!
Ideas about Your Individual Service Plan
When something is "individualized", it means it's created specifically for the person who it's all about. It's like getting an outfit custom-tailored so it fits you perfectly. It's like ordering "a la cart", or "off the menu". If you don't the thing you're looking for, don't just settle. Ask questions. Find out what's possible and choose the things that are important to you!
Ideas About the Support Intensity Scale ("SIS")
The SIS is a set of questions about your day to day life, and what kind of support you need to be successful. The SIS is NOT a test, so you can't get the answers wrong, because it's all about you! Don't be afraid to let the people who are asking your the questions know what you need.
