Implementation

The Implementation

From initial conversations to building a plan tailored to the individual, members of the team have all weighed in to come up with a plan for utilizing technology solutions that will best support the person served. With funding secured, the time has now come to put that plan to work.

Implementing technology supports to fulfill an individual's support plan involves not only setting up the physical technology infrastructure, but the training of all individuals involved as well—providers (staff, managers), case managers, families, and self-advocates. This will help ensure all involved are comfortable using the technology and understand the support and response procedures in place.
