Project STIR Steps Towards Independent and Responsibility Kim Chapter 4: Rules Rights and Responsibilities

What will we learn in Chapter 4: Why are rights an important part of Self-determination? What are the different laws that protect your rights as a person with a disability? What are your rights? What are your responsibilities? What is Due Process?

Rules Rights Responsibilities In Missouri rights for people who receive services can be found in the following of laws, rules and regulations: Missouri Revised Statue 630.115.1 Patient's entitlements Missouri Code of State Regulations Rules of the Department of Mental Health Division of Developmental Disabilities 9 CSR 45-3.030 Individual Rights Code of Federal Regulations 42CFR 441.301(c)(1) Home and Community-Based Waiver Services (HCBS)   Rules help us to understand the things that we need to do in order to keep our rights. Everyone follows rules. Some types of rules are laws. Can you think of other places that we use rules. Wait for answers. Some answers may be (schools, classrooms, cities, towns, countries, home, work, etc.) Authority for each right and protection can be found in a blue box like this. For more information about your rights at dmh.mo.gov/constituentservices/rights.html

Rules Rights Responsibilities Having 3 sources for rights was confusing because not all rights are covered in one authority and sometimes different authorities overlapped. So rights have been organized by the MOQO/LifeCourse Domains  

Rules Rights Responsibilities Discussion questions for each area created by advocates & from the “Charting LifeCourse: Experience and Question Booklet”   We discuss For each domain area we discuss: Rights/Responsibilities The Rule Authority Group Discussion: Exploratory Questions-How does it feel and sharing.

Missouri Quality Outcome Area In order for people to respect your rights it is your responsibility to respect the rights of others. Having rights does not mean you do not have responsibilities. You must take responsibility for all of your actions and the things that you do. This means that you have to answer for or be accountable for something that is within your own power, control, or ability to manage. Daily Life & Employment What a person does as part of everyday life– school, employment, volunteering, communication, routines, life skills.
