Having a choice
"The ideal living environment should involve choices, access to all things in a regular home…it needs to be homely…”

In December 2006, the Summer Foundation was appointed by the Department of Human Services to:
  • develop a planning and assessment framework
  • train the planners from the eight organisations
  • support the planners during the planning and assessment process
  • aggregate the data obtained from all of the assessments and plans.

The Summer Foundation contracted Sue Sloan (Osborn Sloan & Associates) and Libby Callaway (Neuroskills Pty Ltd) to collaborate with the Summer Foundation in this work. In January 2007, the working group developed the Summer Foundation planning and assessment tool.

Approximately 140 people consented to meet with planners to discuss their participation in the my future my choice planning and assessment process. Of these, approximately 126 underwent an assessment of their support needs and had an individual plan developed. This report details the findings from the first 105 people who
had individual plans and assessments completed between February and August 2007 as part of the my future my choice initiative.
