This session exemplifies the relationship between a person and their direct support staff. For a person, their direct supporter could be the key to accessing the world they want and for the direct supporter, the person is key to their employment and quality in their daily work and for an agency; these two people are your most important asset. There is a natural wonder about who is in charge when you have a supervisor that is designated and different than the person you provide direct support to. If you are in charge, then why does your direct supporter have another boss or two or three. Excerpts from Make a Difference (Mount and O’Brien: permission granted) will be used in this sensitive and important session. Attendees will leave understanding the collaborative nature of this relationship and tools.
