My name's Karen and this presentation's about crafting and safeguarding a meaningful life for Cameron.
He wants to work have time to hang out with friends and to move out of the family home.
Some goals, like moving out of home, are long-term and need to be broken down into achievable chunks, while others, like playing online Uno with friends, are smaller and have an immediate positive impact on his life.
Work, administration and the chores of daily life take up a big proportion of everyone's week, but we all make time to work towards our personal goals.
However, they can be grouped together by common themes of life domains and then summarised as the good things in life.
Social role valorisation theory helps us to focus on the good things in life.
Cameron is a social young man who enjoys spending time with people he knows well, but verbal language can be challenging for him.
This does not stop him from expressing his opinions or preferences when he feels strongly about something.
He uses words, gestures and actions to communicate his wants, needs and feelings.
Together, we've been able to develop a vision for his good life, and it is the touchstone we use to craft a meaningful week for him.
Cameron's vision statement appears later in the presentation and can also be found on the Imagine More website if you search Cameron and vision.
Cameron's vision statement is written document that summarises goals that are important to him.
The content and style we have used suits us, but of course visions vary because every person is different.
The most important thing is that the vision is understood by the people who are carrying it.
I'll be talking about the importance of having a vision in more detail later in this presentation.
