Listen now
Description
The next few episodes feature esteemed speakers from the recent Together for Choice conference held in Las Vegas Nevada. First up is Molly Nocon, CEO of Noah Homes in San Diego County, California. Noah Homes is a beautiful residential community for adults with I/DD, although their client profile generally does not include challenging behaviors. Recently Noah Homes has expanded to include senior care for adults with I/DD and dementia (common with older people with Down syndrome), and now Molly is investigating possibilities for a program serving adults with autism and behaviors. Jill and Molly discuss the difference between arbitrary policy edicts and on-the-ground realities, and the need for truly person-centered planning.Links:Noah Homes: https://noahhomes.orgOpportunity Village: http://opportunityvillage.orgTogether for Choice: http://togetherforchoice.org
