Improving Quality of Life for People with Disabilities
You Can Help Others!
The New York State Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities (NYS CQCAPD), in partnership with eighteen organizations who provide services and supports with and for people with disabilities, are working together to learn more about the diverse lives of people with disabilities. This information will help service providers, and those who plan services and supports, make them more responsive to people with disabilities.
To help us gather this information we are conducting two major activities:
1) Focus groups - We are holding focus groups across New York State to learn how people with disabilities and their family members define a good quality of life, what supports a good quality of life, the challenges faced, and what would improve quality of life.
2) Quality of Life Stories - We are reaching out to people with disabilities and their family members to volunteer to tell us their story by sharing their thoughts about these basic questions:
· How would you describe your quality of life?
· What makes a good quality of life and what are the challenges to having a good quality of life?
· What might improve your quality of life?
We can learn so much from one another by sharing stories and life experiences. Your contributions are invaluable to help people learn more about the various lives of people with disabilities.
To speak with someone about holding a focus group or obtaining the Quality of Life Story guidelines, contact Mindy Becker, Davin Robinson or Karen Malcolm at the NYS Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities at:
