6. 6  No staff silos. Staff teams of Direct Support Professionals for intermittent home supports, community supports (day program), and employment supports in an ever-changing pattern.  Staff duties assigned around their interests, connections and talents.  DSP’s certified as Job Coaches and Employment Specialists play a significant role with people who are employed.

8. HOW WE SUSTAIN COMMUNITY INTEGRATED SERVICES: PLANNING FOR PEOPLE  Whole person thinking and planning.  Concentration on people’s gifts, interests, and capacities, not deficits.  The richest planning includes the person at the center of the process, friends, and allies not paid to be in their lives, people knowledgeable about the person’s community/neighborhood.  The best planning is personalized, dynamic, and thought-provoking. 8
