What qualities does The Road Ahead Society look for in hiring a facilitator?
First and foremost a person who shares yours and The Road Ahead Society’s values. We hire people based on their knowledge and connections to the community and their compatibility with the individual with a disability. They range in age from their mid-twenties to their early seventies. Some are parents or relatives of people with a disability. Many have a background in community support and counseling. Several have university degrees. Most have at least two years of college. All have a knack to see the gifts of your relative, and the enthusiasm to inspire others to see it, too. Previous experience with people with disability is a bonus but not a pre-requisite. One of our most effective facilitators was the coordinator of emergency response in a rural community. She knew everyone.
