One of the topics discussed by leaders from the United States and Canada was advances in self-direction (summary here). This webinar and dialogue is intended to expand upon that conversation and further leadership connections between United States and Canadian leaders. \n\n\n\nDescription: Self-direction\, also called self-directed care\, is an alternative to traditional service delivery models in which participants control an individual budget\, create a person-centered plan\, and purchase goods and services they feel will best help them to achieve their goals. In this roundtable\, two people who self-direct will share how the expanded choice and control in self-direction has impacted their lives. They’ll be joined by a researcher who will describe outcomes\, implementation facilitators and barriers\, and best practice in self-direction across the country.  Join us for a 90-minute session to engage with the panelists in dialogue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: May 31 at 10:00am PST / 11:00am MST / 12:00pm CT / 1:00pm ET \n\n\n\n(90 minutes) \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\nBorn with cerebral palsy\, Tim Jin advocates for the rights of anyone with a speech-related disability to have access to the communication tools and support they need.

For many years he also taught systems thinking at the UO. Through this work Bob realized that the mental health and psychosocial impacts of the climate crisis were a very significant but largely unaddressed problem. This led him in 2013 to organize the ITRC. Due to his many years of work\, in 2015 Bob was named one the world’s “50 Most Talented Social Innovators” by the World CRS Congress. Bob is the author of a number of books on the interface between individual\, group\, community\, and social resilience and ecological regeneration.
