Thoughts on a recent ISP meeting

Just a short note. I just attended Agnes' annual ISP meeting. I am so happy to see the care, attention and TIME taken by her circles of supports - very thoughtful and person-centered. However, I was also struck by the fact that the ISP form asks about human rights, whether self-determination is indeed happening etc. - but no recognition of the fact that asking a person with ID "are your human rights being respected in your group home?" in front of group home staff is not the best way to get a response that represents reality given acquiescence bias, etc. Of course, the answer was "Yes." And that was that.
