Consultant Resources

We've started a consultant registry of persons who are interested in working with agencies and individuals on a variety of topics associated with supported living. Below you will find those individuals who have completed the registry survey to date. If you would like more information on any of these consultants (e.g., rates, references, descriptions of experience) email, write or call and we will be happy to provide it. This is an informational listing only and does not represent a business endorsement. We provided a Training list that depicts the work that is available to support yourself in providing strong individualized services.
