Living Options Seminar

Information on four options for living arrangements for a person with a disability

This will be presented by Lisa Martin, Disability Connect

This seminar explores the four main living arrangements for a person with a disability including information about supports available under each option, funding arrangements, who the providers are, benefits and challenges of each option, etc.

This seminar is ideal for families of a young adult with a disability who is approaching the age or 'readiness' to leave home.

Options discussed include:

• Residential Care
• Supported Living
• Choice in Community Living
• Family Governed models

Tea/coffee and biscuits will be available from 30 minutes prior to the start of the seminar.
