Training Resources A Credo for Support winner of the 1996 TASH Media Award this powerful 5 minute video offers a series of suggestions for people who care about and support someone with a disability. Designed for use in . . . . in-service, staff training, and orientation programs . . . Professional Boundaries has been copied from Brain Injury Basics, with the permission of the Edmonton Brain Injury Relearning Society and may be used as a model for the development of professional boundaries specific to each organization. Professional Boundaries are limits that are placed on relationships between a service provider and the person receiving the service to protect the physical and emotional well being of the person receiving service and the service provider . . . It is the role of the professional to ensure that the relationship between him/herself and the individual he/she serves remains healthy and appropriate at all times. Supporting Self Determination - Strategies for Direct Support Staff provides information to direct support staff on the concept and practices of promoting self-determination. Viewers learn six strategies for promoting opportunities for self-determination and discuss the challenges for staff to respond in a manner that promotes self-determination. The Ethics of Touch: Establishing and Maintaining Appropriate Boundaries In Service to People with Developmental Disabilities looks at the delicate issue of touch. Those who provide direct care to people with developmental disabilities are often asked to be in private places performing intimate services. >From bathing to toileting to dressing, we are necessarily in close proximity to those we serve. Given this situation, it is imperative that staff be aware of how to provide these services while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. How do we appropriately express affection toward those we serve? This video suggests new and healthy ways of helping people with disabilities fulfill their deepest needs. The REAL Life Series The Real Life Series are nine teaching videos which focus on improving the quality of life and service for adults with developmental disabilities. The eight videos are: Real Change; Real Teaching; Real Rights I & II; Real Home, Impact and Look; Real Talk I, II, & III; Real Person; Real Options; and, Real Jobs. Although developed as a training resource for surveyors these videos will benefit anyone working with adults with developmental disabilities.
