The Joy of Supervision, Part 2,  Performance management  

You can only control your own behavior, but that's enough.

 The entire seminar was useful – applied to our work directly.

 I liked the handouts, they seemed well geared to make you think how to plan to do things differently.

Practical applications – personal experiences.

Linda’s sharing of her experiences as supervisor. A lot of great examples to explain points being made.  From Iowa Case Managers


The History of DD Services 

Everywhere, young workers are shocked at the past treatment of those with DD. They need to know the powerful civil rights movement of which they are a part. It will instill loyalty, pride and commitment.
