CAC Being Healthy

See how Nyron took action to be healthier so he could do more things he wanted. "I keep track of what I eat and I have lost weight." Nyron shares his personal experience with how he makes healthy decisions and learns about managing his own health. Watch Nyron use Think-Plan-Do to create a process that leads him to success and wellness. Today, Nyron takes health-related courses and consults with a medical community mentor.
The California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) Consumer Advisory Committee (CAC) created a series of 15 videos and corresponding PDF self-help guides called Leadership Through Personal Change. These videos and guides reflect the CAC mission, "My Life, My Way". The CAC provides advocacy and strategies that increase community inclusion, professional development, employment and business development opportunities for people with developmental disabilities and their families.

The CAC uses THINK-PLAN-DO as a method for decision making and goal realization. All CAC videos and guides are researched and field tested throughout California. Results include authentic outcomes, useful work plans and actions that lead to success. Produced and facilitated in partnership with the Board Resource Center, all materials are created to make complex ideas simple, and provide strategies for people to customize person-centered plans.

The CAC has sponsored or co-produced additional videos viewable on YouTube using search word: cac leadership. Additional advocacy tools and publications that provide insight on legal rights and strategies are available on the CA DDS Consumer Corner website: www.dds.ca.gov/consumercorner/publications.cfm

Board Resource Center is about Making Complex Ideas Simple. We take hard to use and understand ideas and develop meaningful training, facilitation, publications and new media that create avenues for people to live quality lives in their chosen communities as they define them. Strategies include plain language, graphic design, community involvement and testing. Focus areas include government agencies, non-profit organizations, advocacy groups and service providers internationally. Purpose is to develop leadership, accessible media and tools that reflect the interest, need and will of those they serve.

CAC Being Healthy

Miguel and Nyron discuss their personal experience with choosing to make healthy decisions to better their own lives. By sharing what has worked best for them, they show us how they figured out what was important to them and the steps they took. Miguel and Nyron used Think-Plan-Do to create a plan for achieving their own goal. This video takes people through a person-centered process using Think-Plan-Do and shows "tips and traps" to look out for when planning.

In 2006, Members of the Consumer Advisory Committee for the Department of Developmental Services created a project called Leadership Through Personal Change to ist Californians with developmental disabilities to live by the motto: My Life, My Way! Members created a process called Think-Plan-Do. Think-Plan-Do teaches people how to develop goals, design working plans, and take action steps that lead to success. In partnership with the Board Resource Center (BRC), materials and DVDs were designed to make complex ideas simple and ist people to customize person-centered plans that work. This strategy has been tested throughout California by self-advocates. The DVD and companion workbook are available online at www.brcenter.org.

Find all (8) CAC DVDs online at www.youtube.com search: cac leadership board resource center. As well, Thinking Ahead: My Way, My Choice, My Life at the End - a personal account of end of life planning - can also be found online at www.youtube.com search: cac leadership board resource center AND Guide to Healthy Living - a self-advocacy group's efforts to improve their health and wellness - can also be found online at www.youtube.com search: cac leadership board resource center.

Board Resource Center (BRC) - Who we are, what we do - Boards of nonprofit organizations, state agencies, and community groups are designed to serve as stewards of community funds and their constituent interests. Responsible stewardship dictates that membership represents the diversity of the community. This diversity includes citizens with diverse abilities.

BRC evolved as an outgrowth of consulting services to California service agencies in 1995, aimed at including people with diverse disabilities on governing decision making boards, and community advocacy groups. We provide customized strategies and ist organizations to recognize that people with diverse abilities are needed in decision making and governance positions in management and the boardroom. BRC provides adaptation consultation, group process facilitation, and governance/board training to ensure community members are connected to local government and engaged in policy development.

The Center's Director, Mark Starford, has extensive experience creating simplified adapted materials, facilitating groups, training and teaching diverse groups of people. The BRC has its roots in a division of The SCILS Group, a nationally recognized non-profit consulting organization established in 1977. The SCILS Group provides facilitation, training and strategic intervention for service agencies, families and adults to ensure person-centered full community inclusion and system change that encourages participation (www.scilsgroup.org).

The Board Resource Center also ists organizations to accommodate the needs of all members to ure effective and inclusive decision making. The Center's strategies focus on leadership basics, accountability standards, financial oversight and accommodations. Our strategies include: essment, planning and implementation; resource adaptation; and leadership training. To contact BRC, email mark@brcenter.org.
