When looking for someone to provide a support or service it’s important to think about whether they’re going to be a good fit. You need to make sure they can provide you with the support you need in the way you want. You can use this worksheet to help you choose service providers. You can fill it out when speaking with service providers, or print it out and use it as a checklist.
You can use this worksheet in different ways. For example, you can enter text in the boxes. If you’d like to express yourself in another way, for example visually – then leave the box blank before printing it.
Speaking up for what you want can be challenging. You can use the IMHA self-advocacy model in combination with this worksheet to help you let people know what it is you want.
