Framing A Future (FAF) is an important tool for young adults, their families and professionals to gain insights into the interests, preferences and goals of an individual. It is designed with the young adult and their family in the forefront, with other team members supporting planning. Teens and teams can use information gathered to assist with setting priorities, and identifying barriers and opportunities to achieving personal goals. In this session, participants will be provided with a brief overview of the background and development of the tool; will walk through the process of implementation using video samples of young adults with a range of abilities and assistive technology supports working with their teams; and will look at outcomes of a good planning process that at the core takes the priorities and needs of the individual as a guide. Attendees will leave with tools for assisting young adults in understanding, determining and communicating goals that are important to them.
