Description:

Most of us have little or no experience as an employer or supervisor. When you hire an attendant, you become a boss and enter the complex world of business management. In this manual, people with disabilities will learn how to assess their own needs, become able to self direct their own care, recruit, hire, train, supervise, and even live with a Personal Attendant. This manual also teaches communication skills, personal interaction, and tools that will empower people with disabilities and personal attendants. The manual is designed to be helpful to individuals with disabilities, family, caregivers, hospitals, group homes, nursing homes, Independent Living Centers (ILC), teaching institutions, government agencies, and community centers. All proceeds go to Help-Your-Self inc.®, a non-profit corporation, to provide independent living services for people with disabilities.
