 An
Introduction to the Project
Managing the Art of Living is a project of the Illinois Council on
Developmental Disabilities. The project is aimed at helping people live
the lives they want to live, with the support of family, friends,
community and public resources.
The project offers self-advocates, families
and friends the opportunity to create Microboards and
Human Service
Cooperatives, consumer-governed structures that bring resources, authority and responsibility directly into
the hands of the people whose lives are most affected by the way support
services are
organized.
Community-Building and PATH training
provide the underlying planning, community development and management
skills that lie at the center of these emerging service forms.
