Let’s Talk Webinar!
November 30, 2016 – 12:00PM
 
“Deeply Frank: Getting Serious About Person-Centered Thinking”
Special Guest Author: Celine Parent
Interviewer: Dave Hingsburger
Introduction: Joseph M. Macbeth
 
As a follow-up to the previous person-centred thinking journal article, Deeply Frank takes a closer look at work habits and routines and the impact they have on the lives of people. The authors challenge readers to think differently and to reflect on why they do things the way they do. They argue that the way support is currently being provided may not be wrong but it can be different. With examples and tough questions, they encourage everyone to step back in order to move forward.

Shannon McCracken is a leader when it comes to supporting the needs of people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. After a decade of experience at the two largest SCL agencies in Kentucky, she made the decision to embrace a new opportunity and start her own company, Commonwealth Case Management. While in the field, Shannon has won numerous national awards and served in multiple leadership positions, most recently with the Kentucky Association of Private Providers (KAPP). From November 2009 - 2012, she served as the Vice-President of Public Policy for the KAPP Board of Directors and served as President from 2012-2015. In 2016, KAPP made a significant investment in its future and offered Shannon a full-time position as the State Executive Director. Being so involved has enabled Shannon to stay at the leading edge and have a great understanding of what it takes to support people with disabilities.

Shannon is a graduate of Western Kentucky University...wife to Tony, mom to Davis (19) & Caroline (17.)
