Consulting

LindaPerryDrawingByDanica Along with our work directly supporting individuals and families interested in Vela Microboards and Individualized Funding, we provide presentations and workshops on a variety of related topics.

We also provide national and international consulting to assist you in moving to a human service system that supports full citizenship for people with disabilities based on the Microboard and Individualized Funding model. In this interview conducted at the Claiming Full Citizenship Conference, October 15-17, 2015, Linda Perry, our Executive Director, outlines some of the factors that can impact system change efforts based on her work in British Columbia, Canada and other western jurisdictions.

This picture was drawn by Danica, one of Linda Perry's children, showing her presenting in Perth, Australia, September 2012. The artist even captured the videographer on the left side of the picture!
