Personal Outcome Measures Training

GOALS:

1. Provide introductory and advanced training to local county agencies (primarily DSN Boards) on Personal Outcomes Measures as developed by The Council on Quality and Leadership in Supports for People with Disabilities.
2. Provide ongoing technical assistance to local agencies implementing the Personal Outcome Measures.
3. Provide organizational consultation to agencies interested in organizational restructuring and/or improvement through the South Carolina Organizational Performance Enhancement System (SCOPES) protocol.
4. Provide individualized training to local agency staff interested in becoming Authorized Outcomes Interviewers.

DESCRIPTIONS:

This project is based on a philosophy and curriculum developed by the Council on Quality and Leadership in Support for People with Disabilities. Currently, this project offers a variety of training events that focus on 25 Personal Outcome Measures identified by The Council. The goal of the training is to help service providers understand the Personal Outcomes Measures and, in turn, assist people with disabilities in achieving these outcomes. Personal Outcomes focus on the items and issues that matter most to people in their lives. We learn about Personal Outcomes only when we talk to the person and learn about what is important and why.
