Supporting Adults with Disabilities as Whole Individuals in Care
Adults with disabilities are whole people—not defined by a diagnosis or condition. This course helps caregivers recognize and honor the individuality, autonomy, and preferences of the people they support. By focusing on person-centered care, respectful communication, and inclusive support strategies, caregivers can create meaningful connections and provide high-quality, dignity-driven care that empowers everyone.
