When we get innovative in human services, sometimes we end
up with the equivalent of a car with square wheels!

What would you say great cutting edge work
looks like today in human services?
If people with disabilities are enjoying lives pretty
much like other citizens, in terms of work,
education, home life, participation in the
community and so on, then you would have to say
that is a huge improvement in quality of life. You
judge it by the outcomes in the lives of the people.

Trump says that while families can be “terrified” by the
transition, residents are often elated by the opportunities.
“They ask questions like: ‘Can someone help me go to the
bank?’ or ‘Can I work during the day and go out at night?’”
she says. “It warms our heart that we are making a difference
by teaching families that anyone can live in the community as
long as they have the right support.”

THEN NOW
The way systems respond to a person with labels like those carried by Royce is almost always
reactive in nature: an increasingly restrictive approach that medicalizes unmet human
needs as “behaviors.” This approach tends to feed on itself by increasing the
likelihood and intensity of challenging behaviors.
Royce is now 23 and wants to live on his own,
says his father, Ralph.
But the family has been told he needs
constant care, and that there are no resources
available to meet his needs.

The reality is, developmental services agencies tend to be not very skilled or practiced in
the art or science of relationships. Traditionally, their talent lies in creating and managing
programs and infrastructure. We need a different theory to get us where we need to be as
facilitators of relationships for the people we are trusted and honoured with supporting.
